It is Valentine's Week and that for many people is fraught with hopes and dreams and no thank you, interested some of us are in good relationships

some of us are in hard relationships some of us are in no relationships.

And in this week's podcast, I actually want to dive into something

that is so crucial to every human heart.

Everyone has a story of love and the story of how you have learned love and

the fears around it, the rejection, the conditions of love. That is actually one of the most central stories of your life how have you learned love so we're actually going to sit around as a group of guys and we're going to share some notes around Valentine's Day but then I want to talk about of

a group of guys and we're gonna share some notes around Valentine's Day, but then I wanna talk about the deep,

significant of our story of love so that we can all, wherever we are this week ask God into that.

Hey, welcome back everybody to the Wild at Hard

Podcast here in the week of February 12th or more importantly said the week of Valentine's Day, two days away.

And thus a group of guys sitting around the table here this week.

Alan, welcome back.

Thanks, John.

Want to introduce Dave on our team,

who handles all of our video content and produces the

podcast for us each week. Good to have you Dave. Thanks. And Conrad, who works in

our deep discipleship track with Morgan and the become a good soil world.

You're going to understand why. I asked three other guys into the studio here in Valentine's Week in just a minute. But before we dive in, let's do what we always do. Let's get rid of the chaos, let's get rid of the pressures, the, yeah, whatever is already grabbed you let's take a moment to do the pause

release everything everyone to God so that we can be present to what he has for us here in the podcast.

Yeah, Jesus, we do. We release everything to you right now. All of the pressures, the fears, all of the messages that we've already received in this day or into the week.

Jesus, I need to release all of that to you right now to come back to my own heart, my own soul, and to come back to you.

So just take a moment, friends, and just give everyone and everything to Jesus. And I asked that you would restore my union with you, God.
