Um, but I eventually chose that option and I called my boss, um, and sat there for maybe like 30 minutes thinking it was four hours, [laughs] nervously awaiting his rescue.
15:24
Uh, anyway, he, he showed up and he was just like a paramedic, you know, turns up on site super calm.
15:31
Like no judgment, no blame, just no drama.
15:34
[laughs] Um, and he just talked me through the situation.
15:38
He was like, "Get back in the car.
15:39
[laughs] Wind down your window." And, um, you know, just talked me through how to get out of it, and it was super easy.

And again, I'm being a bit cynical there, but how have you involved yourself both from the side of getting in the mess, but also getting in the fulfillment?

23:39
Yeah.

I think something that we encourage new young staff or interns that are involved from a central perspective.
23:45
is you have to be involved at a campus.
23:48
And there's so much fruit, obviously, in your life personally and helping disciple other people and make disciples.
23:54
But then also, it just helps keep you healthy.
