And so I don't know where you want to start, but let's kind of go back to like, why is your call and your purpose in worship? Let's start with that, Daryl.
2:45
Yeah, so that developed at a very young age when I came to a personal faith in Jesus Christ.
2:52
I had just begun playing the guitar, and that became a great outlet for me to express, you know, things I'm going through, things I look to Him for, things I was discovering about the Lord, and things I was discovering about myself.
3:05
And so it's always been a great outlet to...
3:09
I think a powerful and meaningful expression in worship music, worshipful music, is looking outside yourself, you know, looking toward the Lord, the one who designed you, created you, knows every part of you intimately, whether you'd like that or not.
3:27
He sees everything and he can define things that we can't even define.
3:32
So for me, That's been a great way to connect with the Lord, with his scripture and with song.

But anyway, so the point is this: that there's inspiration, but there's also spending time with it.
29:20
So here's where I was going.
20:16
How did you meet your wife? And where did your journey as far as starting a family begin? Was that before all of this happened or in the middle of it? Okay, so that's a
20:25
great question.
20:27
So I got married to a girl from that church in Oklahoma.
20:31
It was from a church in Texas.
20:33
So we got married in this church in Texas.
20:35
And this will be a part of it.
20:37
This will... harken back to what we began with about difficult things walking through.
