374. It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. - Clean Energy and the Christian.

Welcome back.

Yeah.

It's been a while, hasn't it? We're casting nets.

I'm Pastor Will Harley.

We have Pastor Dave Rudot here, who is controlling everything from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.

He is coming to us from the future, a future that is one of horrible uniformity issues.

and blandness um and and look at i mean if you just stare at that bridge and you see all of the flashy buttons and now you can see why his love of flashy buttons is is such a thing um

yeah it is the 60th anniversary of star trek this week september 8th

of the original

Of the original.

Very good.

Happy birthday, Star Trek.

Happy birthday, Star Trek.

So it says I'm connecting to Facebook.

I don't know if it is connected.

So that's fun.

Let me take a look to see if we have anything going live into Facebook.

Casting nets.

Usually it says live.

it says something green there but i'm not seeing a live feed

all right well then let's start this over see if we can because i can't let's figure out how do i do this then it's connecting connecting connect it hey Facebook is connected.

YouTube is connected.

That's how that works.

That's

how that works.

And we're live now.

Okay.

Well, this will be fun to try to figure out how to do the audio.

Hopefully people can hear us.

Hopefully.

And welcome to all of those who just gathered with us or will be gathering with us.

And if you noticed, as we just jumped onto Facebook, we didn't have our normal introduction.

And that is because we didn't know we were connected or not.

And so you just get the live view of where we are.

So once again, welcome to Casting Nets Podcast.

It is a new year.

It is a start of something special.

Out of respect for the creator of, what is it, Gene Roddenberry and 60 years of Star Trek, Pastor Rudot has decided to decorate his office in Star Trek paraphernalia.

And he has placed himself on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise with all of its flashy buttons to drive him mad and batty.

And so we thank him for that as my eyes bleed with the vision of that behind him.

Yes,

Will would rather have things dark, you know, like a Millennium Falcon, grave Millennium Falcon, too bright, too flashy.

It must be dark.

It must be black.

He's got a black Millennium Falcon behind him.

I

do.

I do.

So we know where he stands when it comes to lights and flashiness.

But we do welcome you to Casting Nets.

Thank you for giving us some time away during the summer.

I know that that was a long time and we greatly appreciate it.

And a lot of things have happened for us.

And we had to go and deal with some things, not only in our ministries, but also with our personal lives.

And so we appreciate the time that you have given us to do that.

But we're back.

We are back and we are going to have An amazing show, and we're going to start off with an amazing season with hopefully real life and living faith as we continue to move our way forward.

Now, on our approach to this, as is our custom, We have a conversation between two pastors who most of the time are not prepared to kind of give our thoughts on a topic.

And it's just the beginning of a conversation.

But there might be things we say.

There may be things that we approach that may be offensive.

And so we need to give a disclaimer.

And is the disclaimer? There it is.

We disclaim everything that needs to be disclaimed in the podcast in a blanket fashion.

If we trigger you, it is not our intention.

If we say things you like, please give us a thumbs up.

If we say things you don't like, also give us a thumbs up because that just helps validate us in how we are.

If you would like to give us four stars, that would be great.

Five stars makes our head a little bit bigger than it probably should be.

And it also, in helping give thumbs up and ratings and all of these things, it just helps the algorithm so people can find us and maybe get some more information about real life living faith as we wrestle with Christianity and living it out in the real world in the light of Christ.

So I think that's everything.

Is there anything else that I missed?
