| 0:00.0 | Howdy and welcome to the Breakway Podcast. Thanks for listening. Breakway is a Bible study recorded |
| 0:12.2 | on the campus of Texas A&M University. To stay up-to-date on all things Breakway, |
| 0:17.3 | follow us on social media at BreakwayMen. That's Breakway M-I-N. |
| 0:21.8 | Today's message is from guest speaker Mike de Stefano. We hope today's message is helpful to you. |
| 0:35.3 | Well several years ago I had the opportunity to move to Washington DC to help be a part of a core |
| 0:40.5 | team that helped to launch a church, a passion city church, Pastor Ben Stewart, and it was incredible. |
| 0:46.6 | It was fun to move to the city. It was a big bustling metropolitan area and so one of the people |
| 0:53.9 | that moved there with me was my younger brother Dave as a part of that core group and we decided |
| 0:58.9 | being in this big bustling metropolitan urban context that this would be a good time to take up |
| 1:05.2 | boxing. It just felt appropriate in that space. So we decided to look at boxing gym. So the first |

| 1:32.6 | contenders. They only offered private individual sessions and as much as I would have liked to |
| 1:37.2 | have been at the stage of life where I could move in, sleep in the basement, wake up early, |
| 1:42.0 | clean the gym so that I could be the next contender that just wasn't the stage of life that I was |
| 1:47.5 | in. And so we had to find somewhere else. So a buddy invited me to join him at a gym through this |
| 1:52.5 | thing called class pass. And I'll be honest, I was a little bit skeptical at first. I was fearful of |
| 1:58.3 | like a typo type situation like boxing but like dance cardio, you know, that was sort of what I |
| 2:03.1 | was anticipating. And I just didn't want to be in that moment where I someday had to defend a |
| 2:06.6 | child or an elderly woman and all I knew how to do was hand punch and kick and slide, right? |
