Matt Chandler, pastor at the Village Church in Flower Mountain, Texas. We hope today's message is

helpful to you. Howdy, X? I love that.

Ah.

So I was reflecting, coming down here.

There's really only two organizations that have made such an impact on my own personal life and own personal development in Jesus Christ that if I get an opportunity to come preach it

it actually causes like some real kind of reflective weirdness in me and and

as I was thinking about this and getting ready to come here it struck me that I

was coming to break away before most of this room was alive like Like, and so then I'm like, when did I become Pap, Papa Chandler?

Like I was the young guy yesterday.

I mean, really I was. And you might not think time moves that fast, but I'm just telling you.

In the early 90s, the early 90s, before there was cell phones or any kind of social media

or what I was powerfully converted to the person and work of Jesus Christ on June 17th

of gosh, it must have been 91, 92, and my camp counselor, right?

You know, youth camp, they put you in groups, and my camp counselor was Greg Mott,

who's the founder of breakaway. So like, even that, you're like, oh, tell me about him. He sounds interesting.

He started this. Like, in his little dingy, like rat filled apartment,

like when I would come a bill, we would like shoot.
