Hi, everyone, and welcome to the Passion and Purpose podcast.

I'm so excited about our conversation today and so excited about this little mini-series that we're doing,

looking back at what was one of the most life-changing moments of our lives.

And that was Passion 2024, not too many weeks ago at Mercedes-Bin

Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. And today I'm excited to be in this conversation talking about what it

takes to put on an event in a football stadium like what we did with Passion 24.

And I've got Brad Jones here.

Hello, hello.

Been with us on the journey for a long, long time.

Shelly obviously been with me on the journey forever.

And then Misty is the ringleader of this whole tribe of people. She leads passion conferences and is the one who's at the forefront of all the events we do globally and locally.

And we've spent a lot of time together, the four of us, along with our friends, Christian and Sadie Huff and other voices that speak into the decisions that we make.

We've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's next, where is next, how is next, and then to get busy doing next.

And it feels good to be on the other side of Mercedes.

It does for sure. We'll talk in a minute about the other side of Mercedes. It does for sure.

We'll talk in a minute about the spiritual aspect of it because it really, I think I can

speak for everyone here and anyone who's listening to this who is in the Ben's.

And I had a conversation with Jonathan Picluta a few days ago that that podcast has already

dropped in this collection.

And anyone who is in the room will tell you it was one of the most incredible, hard-to-describe,

impactful, spiritual, holy moments of their life.

And we'll talk about that in a minute.
