Welcome to Inklings. I am Emily Bell Freeman, and I'm so excited to welcome you to a space where you and I get to experience a hint of something more together.

This is a community where we lean into discussions that will help us obtain a bedrock understanding of the doctrines of Christ.

Not overnight, but every day better.

Strength gathered over time. There is a place for you here. Looking forward to spending this

semester with you as we embark on a journey focused on becoming his.

Good morning, everyone.

Happy Thursday.

Welcome to Inklings.

I'm so happy to be here right now, particularly because I had one of those dreams last night, which I know you've all had the same dream, that I slept through Inklings

and forgot who our guests were. And then I had to bring on just people who didn't even know anything

about what we were talking about. and it was a big disaster.

So I was so happy when I woke up this morning and we had not had inklings yet.

Our friends for today and okay, let's see if that worked.

Oh, hi Katie. Hi hi how are you are you doing doing so good and there's carlin hi carlin hello how are you good how are you good you guys like dress for thanksgiving and i dress for spring so what does that say about

our personalities it's like we coordinated okay i'm in like denial right now which you love because

meanwhile i'm decorating for christ Christmas at the same time.

But people who are so worried about me decorating for Christmas, let me tell you that the whole time I decorate for Christmas, I listen to my Thanksgiving playlist in case that makes

everybody feel happier.

And I'm actually so excited for the topic that we are studying today. And I feel like we need

five hours because it's such a good one. So we are just going to dive in. Except for let's just

reintroduce you, even though you've both been here before just quickly for
