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 today. Happy Friday, everybody, and

happy New Year. I did not acknowledge that last week. We had our episode last Friday, which was the

2nd of January. And when I had recorded that, I honestly don't think I realized that it was the

beginning of the year already. So, happy New Year. I will acknowledge it now. Oh my goodness. We are in

the year 2026, which is crazy to me. I am approaching three years now of, I guess, because I don't,

it's so funny because I'm like, when is like my actual one year with Jesus

like do I count it at the beginning of the year because it was at the beginning of 2023 where I

made the decision that I wanted to give God a chance but I wasn't fully sold out on him yet like I wasn't

fully in and then I didn't get baptized until like a

year into my journey. So I'm like, do I count it when I'm back? Like I don't know when to celebrate, but I really do. I don't know. I honestly think a majority of me actually celebrates it in the beginning of the year because that is when I was like, okay, God, I'm giving you a chance. You know what I mean?

So, anyway, I am approaching or not, I don't know, I'm giving you a chance. You know what I mean? So anyway, I am approaching or not,

I don't know, I could be in the midst of my three year anniversary with Jesus, which is so sweet and fun.

But happy New Year, guys. I hope that you are at least getting into the groove of life again.

I feel like it's really hard to get on the horse again after the holidays. This time of

year is weird. Like I actually think January is like the weirdest month of it all. Like January February is just kind of like, where are we? What are we doing? What's going on? You know? And obviously we have our resolutions and like our goals for the year. But I don't know. January is like whack in my opinion. Like, it's just like, I don't know where I am in January. It's like I'm like in it, but I'm also not like I'm exhausted, but I'm thrive. Like where are we? Anyway, guys, I love you. Hi. Welcome back to another episode. We have our Christ. We have our Bible right here. First off, we have our Christ who's living and dwelling inside of us through

his Holy Spirit. Thank you, God. But then we also have our sword here, okay? We have the Word of God,

which protects us. And so, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus for the Word of God. So we have our

Christ, and we do have our coffee on ice, barely.

I know that I promised you guys that you would never see a gross watered down coffee from me ever again.

Now that we're recording in my home, there really is no excuses considering my refrigerator that's filled with ice is just downstairs.

Why is it already melted and gross and soupy?
