Fresh Life, I feel like I've been following your journey

for about a decade and it feels like a huge honor

to get to be in like the space with you.

To get to share this, to get to see your faces

and get to hang out with you today,

I love your pastors, Pastor Levi and Pastor Ginny.

Like Levi said, we met about 10 years ago

at a conference together and shared a flight

back to the Pacific Northwest

where we were living at the time and just fell in love

with just their heart, their story, the vision

that God had given them for the Northwest.

And I just want you to know

that what God is doing here, what he's started here,

isn't just in this room and it's not just impacting

the campuses or dear lodge or online,

that what God is doing in this space

is affecting people across our nation

and across the globe.

And so I'm so grateful for Pastor Levi and Pastor Ginny

and their heart, but I'm really grateful for you

and your investment in what God is doing here

...
