Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

Wow.

Hey, before you're seated, before you're seated, it's been a season. It's been a millennial minute since we saw each other.

Right before COVID, and here we are, before you're seated.

I just, and again, it's not like high rhetoric, it's just not part of the polity.

And every single time, even it took place in the green room, I was talking to Pastor Robert about a very critical,

we find ourselves about to cross the proverbial Rubicon with our church ministry, with things that God is just opening up.

And again, just in a nice, beautiful, nuanced way, just seeing the Holy Spirit operate through Him, and saying,

Sammy, this is what the Lord says. Boom. You all need to help me recognize the best pastor on the planet, Pastor Robert Morris.

Love you. Love you. Wow. That's my pastor.

And as you stay standing, you'll be seated for a few minutes. As you stay standing, we want to honor 10 years ago,

10 years ago, 2013. We had this moment, the iconic legendary ministry of James and Betty, we all know it.

They invited Sam Rodriguez to come in and speak. And I was here this stage speaking,

wrapped up preaching, turned around, James comes up, no joke, it wasn't scripted, some of y'all saw it on YouTube, some of you were here.

And he says, Sammy, drop down. Get on the floor. I'm thinking, there's a bomb. Like, you know, like, what?

So we, I dropped on the floor. The next thing, James drops right next. And some of y'all have seen this on YouTube.

And he starts praying over me and transferring over a mantle. Can you help me recognize James and Betty, who are spiritual parents, the Samuel Rodriguez?

Simply the best. The legend.

You may be seated, you may be seated. I want to expedite the process, but I want to go there at 37 minutes, 27 seconds, county dollars go.

And oh, I mentioned this to Pastor Robert. He already know me because I, and I, I've had some coffee today and all that.

So y'all know how it's going to go. But listen, I was telling Pastor Robert, I don't know how y'all did it. Y'all attracted the most, no joke, no hype, no exaggeration.

And the most prominent Hispanic worship leaders all go to one church. Gateway.
