Yeah, anything else you want to share? And tell me I can't share? You're sharing stuff with me. You want me to? You want to tell me anything else that I can't share?

Stop it.

Welcome to Doctrine and Devotion. It's a podcast that explores Christian faith and practice from a reformed Baptist perspective.

My name is Joe Thorn. I like to share. I am the lead pastor of Redeemer Fellowship in St. Charles Illinois.

And I'm Joe Fowler, executive pastor at Redeemer Fellowship. And you don't like to share. No. You share stuff with me. That's really awesome and fun. But I can't share.

Not yet. You can share it on Monday. Everything you told me? No. No. No. You just said everything that you told me. As we've been sitting here in the office, I can share.

I cannot wait. That's going to get some clicks. Why are you the way that you are? Because it's the end of the day. It was a good day. Got a lot done.

It's going to be a good, well, it's going to be a good day tomorrow. But there's a chance that we're going to get a bunch of snow and ice.

Yeah. I already got people asking like CG. I was like, we'll see. Well, that's wait. Let's wait. I'm not ready to cancel now. No.

You cancel. You can wait till like two o'clock, even. Yeah. I'll wait till two. That's what I do. I wait till. But I like I don't go after that. Two o'clock if we need if it's dangerously. Yeah. Yeah. So I like to wait till that. I just don't like doing it.

Two prematurely, I guess. Mm hmm. Yeah. Cause that way it's just like no one likes that. Yeah. Just no one enjoys that. And then like they got a flip flop.

That's like, oh, we should have. We should have. Yeah. Right. You don't want to. Yeah. No. And when you do legitimately cancel people are like, okay, well, you know, it was good. I had to cancel for whatever reason.

And then it's like, oh, hey, you know what? I got some free time tonight. I'll just hang out with the wife or the kid or whatever. And that's kind of nice. But yeah, if you like, oh, we canceled, but we really could have. And yeah. Not. That's no good. That's so good. That's so good. Yeah. I couldn't go to my small group.

This week because I had a meeting that we could only have at the church about men's ministry and stuff, which is really good. Really excited about this year.

Last year was great. It's our first year. Amazing. Full fledged men's ministry. I thought it honestly, it was. It was the best men's ministry year we've had. That I've been honestly. Yeah, we could. Oh, because we have had men's ministry stuff. But like, but I'm saying since I've been here. Yeah, like, but we haven't had any. We haven't.

Class. No, this level of organization, perv.

And consistency. Right. Yeah. It's so good. Yeah, we got you know, Grady and a team of people. Yep. Just doing a great job. Super fun, man. And so you know last year. We went on, we did our first men's retreat ever.

It went up to Lake Geneva and it was really cool.

Overall, awesome experience, building boats

and floating them in the lake, and doing races,

hang out, teaching, all that was just really good.

But the only two things that everybody universally hated.
