| 0:00.0 | first question is about church unity and so this is something i've been thinking a lot about with um |
| 0:05.5 | you know to give background i grew up as a uh conservative baptist and you know i was very like uh |
| 0:12.4 | well you know john mccArthur actually just passed away yep um but i was like a very big john mccarthy |
| 0:16.9 | fan um intellectual all those things and then um i went to the whole other side after i |
| 0:25.2 | just got exposed and i became like a more charismatic and pentecostal um and you know my dad |
| 0:33.4 | grew up in the philippines and so he grew up cath Catholic and you know you just see like you know |
| 0:38.9 | now I've been exposed to kind of like basically all forms of Christianity. And you know what I can |
| 0:46.9 | say is from my own subjective experience I think that all of them have bits and pieces of, you know, |

| 1:56.8 | and the things that Scripture is identifying and clear about, we maintain unity around those things. |

| 2:14.3 | We should maintain love and unity and care and serve alongside one another, |
| 2:18.7 | even with those disagreements. I'll say it this way. I'm a Reform Baptist minister. All my |
