[upbeat music] So last week, we had an introduction to our new series called Being the Church, right? Yeah.
And so we saw that they were devoted to different things, right? [smacks lips] And, uh, today, we're gonna sort of try and unpack that a little bit, go a little bit further with it.
Uh, and who knows that when you start in a book, it's good to start it at the beginning? Yes.
First page, yes? Yeah, 'cause otherwise you might not get the whole story.

That's what it says, right? They were put in the garden to take care of it and to work it.
That's right.
You still with me? Yeah.
Sorry, I have a weird echo, so I'm gonna switch back to that.
Um, my bad.
Is this still on? Fantastic.
