Hey everybody, Andy here. Welcome to Your Move, where we help you make better decisions and live with fewer regrets.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of our listeners. So if you have been positively impacted by this podcast, would you consider supporting your move with a tax deductible donation?

It's very odd to me to hear people talk about the church like the church is an institution rather than a group of people. That the church, you know, people sometimes, maybe you've said this.

And I have a friend named Jonathan Rekford who, I first heard him say this, so I stole this from Jonathan. He said, Andy, generally speaking,
