Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Christ with coffee on ice. I am your host,

Ali Yost. It is a joy and honor to be here with you guys. I am so excited about today's

episode because today is the first day that we are recording in a different space. And this is the

space that I got to put together myself. If you guys don't know,

if you don't physically watch the podcast, that's okay. Obviously, then none of this really applies.

But to those who are physically watching, I had been recording in a studio the last few months,

which was such a privilege, honestly, to be able to have that

luxury of going to a studio where other people set it all up for me. They're in charge of lights,

camera, action, and all I have to do is show up. Like, seriously such a blessing, for sure. Um, but there's definitely a

different freedom that I have with being able to have my own space and, um, there's no time limit.

And I can get as vulnerable as I feel led to be or want to be. And not that I couldn't do those things in the studio, but you know, it's a little bit of a different pressure. It's so funny. Like a camera actually doesn't intimidate me. It's like real eyeballs that do. And so it's funny. Like sometimes people will be like, how do you do it, Allie? And I'm like, I don't see a camera and like see eyeballs looking back at me. You know what I mean? I just don't. I just see a lens and I'm like I don't see a camera and like see eyeballs looking back at me you know what I mean

I just don't I just see a lens and I don't think like past that you know because obviously the lens

does bring me to a ton of eyeballs but I don't see that side like I just see the lens anyway

if there's real eyeballs in front of me though that's different

and so I do get a little stage fright I think obviously you get used to it over time like

filming so many times with these people and they also all love Jesus so you know it wasn't anything

like all that intense but there is a little bit of pressure and stage fright

that comes with having like real people sitting in front of me. So anyway, I do kind of have that

freedom where it's just a camera in front of me again and there's no one else in the room.

And so, yeah, I'm really excited for this next chapter of the podcast.

And yeah, I'm really honored to be your host today. Happy Friday, you guys. We have our coffee on

ice and never again, because now I get to make my coffee from home and just walk upstairs,
