| 0:00.0 | This is actually my first question after watching your documentary was, are you, would you consider |
| 0:04.7 | yourself Christian? Because it didn't like, in the video, in the documentary, it was never really |
| 0:09.3 | discussed. I consider myself a Christ follower for sure, through and through. Like, I believe |
| 0:14.0 | Christ is the way the truth in life when no one gets the father except through him. But like my |
| 0:19.4 | faith journey has been one of wrestling since I was a kid. |
| 0:24.5 | That's what I saw on the documentary. Like why not just call yourself a Christian? Because words have |

| 1:14.8 | Yeah. |
| 1:15.4 | Okay. |
| 1:15.9 | So that kind of sets the stage. |
| 1:17.6 | And we prayed right before this too, which was great. |
| 1:20.2 | So you divide a lot of people in the Christian world, right? |
| 1:24.7 | Because on one hand, you've got, I would call them more people who don't |
| 1:29.7 | like the church but call themselves Christians, and they don't like how big they get. They don't like |
