Well, I want to welcome everybody out at all of our life church locations.

Those of you at our open network churches and of course, all of you across the globe

at church online.

It is great to have you with us today.

My name is Sam Roberts.

I am one of our directional leadership team members here at life church.

And I've had the honor and the privilege of serving here at life church alongside Pastor

Craig now being on staff for over 20 years.

And with this being my 20th year, thank you very much.

The great thing is that I've been able to see not just from a distance but up close in

personal how Pastor Craig not just leads, but how he leads his family, his wife, his children.

And I've been able to call him not just my pastor but my friend and I love being able

to be under his leadership in the work that God is doing here at life church.

Now, I have had a conversation recently with several different ones of you across some

of our different locations and with several of our staff.

And the conversation this last week is all sounded quite the same really.

It goes like this.

Oh, so I masterminds this weekend, right?

And I said, no, actually it starts next weekend and you'll want to be here to see it because

it's going to be really cool.

And they're like, oh, awesome.

Well, what's this weekend?
