| 0:00.0 | Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma Daughter. |
| 0:08.0 | Thanks for joining and Merry Christmas. Today, we are in Genesis 17 and Romans 9, and I am in the podcast studio with a watermark young adult and an old friend of mine, Brandon Brower. |
| 0:19.0 | How's it going? Thanks for having me. |
| 0:20.0 | So glad to have you here. We've got some big passages to jump into. |
| 0:24.8 | So we'll have to have you back again. You can share your story then. I'm going to go speed |
| 0:28.2 | around to get to know Brandon. All right? When you first came to Watermark, where'd you serve? |
| 0:32.3 | The porch. Why the porch? |
| 0:34.0 | It was instrumental in my faith from the podcast standpoint because I didn't live here and just |
| 0:39.3 | ultimately felt called there. Love it. And you are married. Yes. You're a young adult at Watermark |
| 0:44.1 | married. Where'd you meet your wife? At A&M. Gagam. Yeah, I love it. At a coffee shop there. And then |

| 1:17.9 | Oh. |
| 1:18.3 | And it didn't last very long because we just beat it to pieces, but it was fun for about a week. |
| 1:23.4 | That's how it goes. |
| 1:24.6 | I love it. |
| 1:25.1 | Well, let's dive in. I'm going to have you, since we got to make the most of this time, I'm going to have you just read these passages for us and then we'll start walking through. |
| 1:33.5 | Great. So yeah, the first passage is Genesis 17 versus 15 through 19. So I'll just read it. And God said, Abraham, as for Sarah, your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be your name. I will bless her. And moreover, I will give you a son and a son to her. I will bless her. She shall become nations. Kings of peoples shall come from her. Then Abraham fell in his face and laughed and said to himself, shall a child be |
