I am so excited this morning, just trusting and believing that there is a word from the Lord.

My name is Lonnell Dawson Williams.

Praise you.

I am the chief of staff here at 2819, and I'm just excited to be in the room on this morning. Listen, I just want to do a couple

of quick shoutouts and then we can dive right into it. Number one, I got a shout out to the

main man. My friend, my brother, the pastor of this amazing house, Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell. Come on. Listen, it's so interesting.

See, I've known Pastor Philip for quite some time. We were friends before I actually became a member of the

staff. And it's so funny actually became a member of the staff.

And it's so funny because I see him in my neighborhood. He's always walking. And people

be like, is Pastor Philip really like that? Like, is he always wearing black? Is he always

weeping? And I'm like, yes, that is, yes, that is really who he is. He'll take walks in all black.

I'd be like, it's hot, Doc.

Like, come on.

But listen, he's an amazing man, amazing leader,

and what you see online is who he really is.

And that's what makes him a good friend of mine and a great brother.

I also want to shout out.

Obviously, Miss Lena, an amazing first lady at this house. She's awesome, awesome, awesome. And then I got a,

I got a shout out my wife who's in the room. Dr. Jessica Williams. I love her hard.

I love her real good.

You know what I'm saying?

I love her real good.
