Good evening everybody.

Hey there, my name is, my name is Garrett and I served on the on the porch staff team here for six years.

And then two years ago, if you're in the room live, you heard David say just a moment ago,

two years ago that my wife Gabby and I left Alice Fort Worth, which has been our home for quite a while

and moved to New York City to begin a new church that launches this very month.

So we're very excited about that.

But here's the interesting thing about tonight,

is that I haven't been here in two years.

And research has shown that the porch crowd kind of almost does a full turnover about every two years,

which leaves me tonight starting by saying,

it's so good to see you guys and it leaves you saying,

you too, who is that?

You know, and, but in any case, it's so good, it's so good to be together and just to have a few moments of potential for God to move in our lives and hearts together.

Special shout out tonight by the way to our friends in Boise and our friends in Scott

Saylor who are tuning in around the country.

Some of them are not around the country.

Some of my thinkers are sitting right over there, I think is what's going on.

So it's great to be together.

Listen, I'd love to start, I'd love to start with the question tonight.

Tonight's about mission.

It's about being united in mission, specifically.

I want to ask you a question, maybe you've never reflected on this before,
