Well, howdy and welcome to the Mark Driscoll show. This is the third ever Mark Driscoll show.

Pastor Mark has been wanting to do this for some years. And we just kind of threw it together

last week. We were going to roll it out very meticulously. And the guy that was going to roll it out

meticulously went on vacation. So we thought, let's just get ahead of that. Let's just do it. Yes.

And it's gone really well so far. A lot of positive feedback. If you guys have any ideas for the show, email us hello at realfaith.com. If there's a segment or something you want us to cover, reach out. We'd love to hear from you. Our camera guy is shaking his head, no, he doesn't want to hear from you. but we want to hear from you.

if you're going out, buying a lot of blue tape and having the, you know, the toilet paper war at

Costco, and you're making people register to your church and wear masks, you failed that test. During the election, if he didn't say anything, or if he came out and said, you know, I'm supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz, the most pro-abortion ticket in the history of the United States of America, that's a big fail. And then with the death of Charlie Kirk, if your people are saying, hey, can we pray and could

you open the church and could you explain to us like, what in the world is happening?

And you say no comment, then you're 0 for four.

And I think if you're 0 for four, you probably should clean up your resume if you're

a pastor and go find another career.
