Hi, everyone, welcome to the passion and purpose podcast. I'm so excited. We're in season 1.5,

meaning a season which we are calling back to the Ben's.

We are headed in just a few days now, actually, to what I believe is going to be a historic

gathering of 18 to 25-year-olds in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

I love the fact that we are talking about doing something on this scale in the middle of the biggest season

of global uncertainty that we all have lived through in our lifetime. We're the people of

God. We still have faith. We're going for big things in trusting God to do miracles. And one of the

people who's going to be at Passion,, this year is a dear friend of mine.

He and his wife are really great friends to Shelley and myself, his family.

I feel like we're all one big happy family.

And I respect him so much and so pumped to have him on with us today.

Everybody, welcome Levi Lesko to the Passion and Purpose podcast all the way from

Montana. How's life up in the Great Upper Midwest today? Oh, so good, Louis. So good to be on

with you. So good to see your face. And I love season 1.5 and glad to be nestled right there in the

midst of it all. Yeah, I know you would like the 1.5 because I have, and we're going to talk about this later,

but people can see that I've printed out the manuscript for your book that's coming out next year.

And in it, there's an intro, there's an intro 1.5, 1.7. So I knew you would really love being on season 1.5.

Just for you. Yeah. We're not quite into season 2, but man, I'm loving season 1.5. We're talking about the bends.

I have a lot of guests on that are going to be a part of that gathering. But before we get into all that, just want to say, how much I love you.

It's been a big year for us.

We got to watch a rocket launch together in April, and we got to see the SpaceX launch to the International Space Station.

One of the great experiences of our lives to be able to do that together, got to visit
