Watermark Community Church

Six years ago

... yeah, just at Watermark?

This is at Watermark.

Yeah, Watermark.

And why, what, hard of dating.

Yeah, yeah.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Yeah

... uh, at The Porch back in the day.

But today we're gonna have a, a good conversation, man.

Uh, man, this, uh, this week...

That's a great start of the pod.

[laughs] Yeah.

Hey, uh, JP, the first time I heard you speak, it was 10-plus years ago, and I remember, uh, somebody invited to, some- somebody invited me to go to the Porch service.

I'd just moved from Michigan to Dallas.

Truly, truly, we're grateful for you.

And if you have any feedback for us on this episode, you can always reach us at clp at watermark.org, clp at watermark.org. And we'll talk to you again next time.

And, uh, so anyway, we move in there.

We get settled, and I start my first week here at Watermark, and we found a, a, a house in Richardson.

And so we found it.

We're, we're getting settled, and then, uh, the night before we're gonna move in, my daughter, my five-year-old at the time, my daughter starts throwing up the night before.

Mm.

That, that while I'm not a mind reader, I, the, like I, I think a great example is, uh, is, is Kyle, who's, is one of the elders at, uh, at Watermark Community Church.

He, he is, he, he makes it a goal to not have to ask his wife what she wants for Christmas, her birthday, or anniversary.

Wow.

These are some amazing women I have known for a very long time.

So Millie, I've known you since 2010 when I had my second baby and he was a newborn and I joined the Nest leadership team back at Watermark.

And Millie basically started the Nest at Watermark a long time ago.

It was called Building Blocks, just in the mat room with some moms and just leading some ladies.

And then Stephanie, I met, let's see, 2016.

care zero about the podcast care about our people yeah so i'm like i think it's real because there obviously is some benefit to the accessibility we have in our culture today to do podcasts and resources and get to learn and have so much available to us from learning yeah why is that not enough like why do we even still need a mentor if i have a thousand parenting podcasts i can listen to

Well, because let this podcast serve as a warning and as a challenge.

You know, when I would go to church years ago, when we first started, well, I mean, a Northwest Bible, then Watermark, you know, I would go home and tell my husband, I'm getting rid of our ottoman because I cannot put my feet up, you know.
