Hello everybody. Welcome to another episode of Christ with Coffee and Ice.

I am your host, Allie Yost. It is a joy and honor to be here. I'm just giggling because I'm really filled with joy today, y'all.

And I'm so grateful for you. Listen, when I left to record for the studio today, you guys, I was told a lie by the GPS saying, hey, it's going to take you this amount of time. I was like, okay, yeah, that sounds about right. It took 40 minutes longer. So my coffee is a little bit watered down now, but that's okay. There's grace. But it's just funny. I feel like my coffee gets less and less appetizing to even look at. I show you guys. I'm like, it's like, girl, that is watered down. Or like the last couple weeks with my protein. It's like, girl, that's chunky. Listen, it's all right. We're not even here for that. We're not even here for that. We're here for Jesus. So we have our Christ. We have our Christ. We do have our coffee on barely any ice. And yeah, I'm just stoked to be here with you guys.

How are you?

How's everyone doing?

I will also acknowledge, this is just really exciting.

I actually feel like maybe somebody could relate to this.

I feel like when I was first journeying, bringing my faith to the internet,

and like kind of combining two of my worlds of like work, but then also my literal obsession and

beginning, and it may still be challenging at times, is not allowing the numbers and the

results and the views and all those things or the following count, like not let those things dictate what Jesus is telling me to do. I feel like in the beginning I had a very strict like, none of this matters. I'm not going to acknowledge it when we hit milestones. Like, I'm not going to acknowledge these things because that's not what matters. And it's like, yes, but no. Like, I don't know, I felt the Lord actually

encouraging me to be like, okay, what I'm telling you is that it should not be your number one,

but it can still be something to celebrate, you know, like as long as I'm not idolizing it and I'm

not doing it for those things, but that doesn't mean that it's wrong to still acknowledge them,

be excited for them. Because ultimately, like,

when we reach milestones in our careers, it doesn't always have to be like a following count.

For me, I just, the internet is my job. So that is how it looks for me. It could look differently

for you. But when we hit these milestones and these successes and like these kind of like

markers in our lives, I don't think that

it's wrong for us to celebrate them and like be excited about them. And so I bring that up because

I'm about to say that we surpassed 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, which is so cool. I got a little
