Amen, amen. What a story. How many of you are simultaneously inspired and a bit intimidated?

I mean, give me a break. Holy, I feel like I'm going to suck it in all the time here. We might have to work out today, Jeff, or maybe take a nap. One of those two.

Wow. For those of you listening to a podcast three months from now,

we just saw a life change story from a girl who is just Jack. Holy moly. Hey, grab your Bibles.

We're going to be in John Chapter 1, and we're in this 28-week series just studying the Book of John,

on your face and just having such a hunger for the Word of God.

And God willing, I hope to be able to do this for the next 20 or 30 years.

And so thank you, thank you, thank you that you let me do this.

So here we go.

We're going to dive right in, chapter 1, verse 35.

Says this, the next day, again, John, that's John the baptizer, in case you weren't here

last week, John the baptizer, was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus

as he walked by and said,
