Amen and amen.

Everybody in church, hope you're well. We've got your Bible, the Song of Solomon chapter 8 for our 10th and final week. And before we dive into that, I got a little good news to share with you first. Happy turkey season. Do you guys know that? Okay? All right. If not, more for us. But if you're into that, bust a beak. All right, praise God. Hey, you remember last week, we prayed for Pastor Ben just in case you don't know what's happening. Week and a half ago on Wednesday, we were in Disney together. He had a seizure. They did a brain scan, found a mass in his brain. The prognosis a week ago Wednesday was not good whatsoever. We were praying like crazy at our Thursday service and our Sunday

services that things would be different by the time he got here, got to a local hospital,

and they did all the stuff. And praise God, I've got good news. He had surgery on Wednesday.

They removed the mask from his brain. And I don't want to put words in the surgeon's mouth but he was extremely

positive about it he thinks they may have gotten it all and so from the first prognosis to where

they are now is like miraculous amen praise God and so Carrie Ben's wife wanted me to say thank

you to our church for praying thank you at all of our campuses and I would also like to say particularly because we prayed for him at all of our campuses.

And most of our campuses prayed very quietly, you know, fervently, but just prayed like this.

But Chaplain Cop Baker said that you guys brought the heavens down.

That y'all were calling down fire from heaven. So thank you for praying like crazy.

Also, another update is while I was, while me and the elders on Wednesday were at the hospital pray for Pastor Ben, after he goes in, there's another husband and wife that come walking by, and she had that, like, I think you're my pastor look, you know, and I don't know that she'd ever see me in three dimensions, only two. So she comes up and says, are you? I'm like, yeah. And so we were able to anoint him with oil and pray with them before they went in. His name is James Williams. His wife's name is Rebecca. No relation to Ben and Carrie Williams. But I want you to know that his surgery was also successful, and he is at home recovering recovering and so also be praying for James and

Rebecca. Amen. Praise God. Good news. Good good news. All right. If you got your Bibles, we're

going to dive in. We're going to spend our final week in the Song of Solomon talking about how to

raise a daughter. Now the moment that we publicized that this is what we were talking about this week,

the biggest email we got back is,

well, why not how to raise a son? Because that's not what this chapter in the Bible is about.

I don't make it up. I don't write it. I just deliver it. Now, I will say raising the sun is very

important. I'm doing that too. And if you would like to hear about this, about two or three or four, some years ago, it all runs together for me now, I did a five-week series called Act Like Men. And so if you want a, if you want a parenting series on how to raise sons, because what we're trying to raise, you're not trying to raise a boy, you want to raise a young man. And so there's a five-week series on what it means to act like a man. And so go back and

listen to that. But today we're going to talk about how to raise a daughter because that's how

the end of the Song of Solomon is. And I do still think this is for everyone. Because there's a whole

bunch of you and you are daughters. And you never graduate from being a daughter if you've ever been a
