Good morning, church. What a blessing to be here. You know, you get the serendipities of life,

in our case, Lisa and I getting to travel around, and people ask me, what's the best thing about

being famous? And I said it's meeting really great people. That's been my greatest blessing.

And we did that here with Gary and Terry and their family.

I came here and spoke at a Tony Perkins event, and we just happened to meet these guys. And they've

been so gracious to us. And allowing me to be in the pulpit is a great thing. So thank you for that.

Gary. I really appreciate it. And I feel very secure now with all these armed people around.

That's my family.

We're heavily armed.

And, yeah, that's good.

And we always say we'd rather have a Bible said, but if a gunfight breaks out, we're ready either way.

We were doing the Today Show, the whole family a few years ago.

And so we did the little after show, you know, with Kathy Lee and Coda, I think back in those days.

And so they were trying to keep it light and fluffy, you know, because this is a coffee morning show on NBC, you know,

so they're not wanting to get anything controversial.

So when it came to dad and they asked him, so they thought they were pretty clever because they said,

well, tell us, we know you got some cute dogs back home, Mr. Phil.

Tell us about them.

Well, I'll tell you what, Kathleen, that's our first line of defense, the dogs.

They alert me that if someone has murder or mischief on their mind, and then we break out the ARs and the guns.

And we had to go to commercial right after that.

It's what happens, right?
