So as members, how do we

kind of keep those batteries going when we show up? So my answer would be twofold on that.

I think the first answer I would say is, and this is why we're in this, we've been in two sermon series where, I mean, if you could just ring them both out, it's pointing back to the while we're doing, we went through the letter of 1 John.

And, you know, this is who we're supposed to be as believers in Christ.

But I wanted to go deeper with that and go, you know, why are you living out your faith? You know, is it just saying, I want to give God the glory on that rodeo stage or behind the spotlight? Or are you truly living out your faith? You know, what is your why? And so like we just did this live nativity scene out at our church and thousands of people come through it.

And on Thursday night, when we do a run through, that's that's my challenge to them.

I was like, instead of just going out here and doing all the things, why do we do this? Why do I dress up like King Herod for three nights and freeze to death? You know, because I want to tell the story of Jesus.

Maybe it's a little bit.

So I'd love to hear how you got started, where you got started, and where exactly are you from?

Yeah.

So I grew up in a sand flat outside of Grandview, Texas, which is a little outside of Cleburne area.

And, uh, I grew up, uh, I always call myself a drug baby.

I was drugged to church every time the doors were open, you know? So, I mean, I literally, as far back as I can remember was born.

I mean, I literally feel like I was born on a Baptist pew.

I mean, And I always had a deep love for the Lord as far back as I can remember, always just love the scriptures, man.

So I would love to get your perspective on what the meaning of Easter is.
