Okay, so last week we got, I don't even know how did we get here, Jesse. How'd we get to talking about high school side hustles? Help me remember. High school. I'm trying to remember too now. You gotta forgive me, guys. I've been to Mexico. I flush the whole mind out down there. All the daiquiris flushed all the memories out. They're gone. Long gone. The memories. There's a hard memory wipe for about four weeks back, guys. I don't even I'm not even sure how I got into my office today. Jason. Marty was on the show last week. We're watching. Marty hustled in high school, man. He was, he got into some trouble. Yeah, Marty was telling us all his stories of high school, how he made extra money. And he literally sold his dad's watches. Like his dad would collect watches, and he would go in and take his dad's watches and go sell them in high school. Till I teachers and stuff, and then he would sell candy, he would sell, so you hustled. So I got to thinking about things we did. To make a little extra cash in high school. So we asked you guys what you did. For your high school hustle, you hit us up on Twitter at Roland podcast and here's a few of our favorite replies. This one from David, he sold San. He sold candy for our science team. We got a lot of time back just in that sentence. What kind of school first off, what is a science team? How do you compete in science? What competitions are they? And what are you exactly David? Here's one of my concerns. What are you raising money for in the science? What kind of experiments require you to? It's like with Michael Scott did the fun run thing, but he had a huge check made out to just science at the end of it that I feel like that's what he's doing. Yeah. But David essentially, he sold candy at a markup at school. I know a lot of people who did this because if you're in high school and he said it was the good stuff, like starburst, skittles, twizzlers. Listen, I had kids in my high school that we did this that would go to the gas station and just buy the big bags. When you're you can sell a hungry high schooler candy, you can mark it up a 1000%. And if they're hungry enough, they will buy it. He said he made a few hundred bucks. Yeah, good for you. Good for you, David. I'm still concerned about your science team, though. I mentioned on the show, I think, or maybe it was after the show, I found out last year that my elementary school son, you know, you care to buy your kid name brand lunch stuff. You know what I mean? You got to get the chips ahoy bag. You got to get the good string cheese. You want your kid to not have the lame lunch, right? I found out my little fourth grader was out there flipping it. He was selling his lunch stuff. He was making money and then going to the concession stand and buying junk. I couldn't believe it. It was so mad when I found out he was selling my premium lunches that I was providing for him. Anyway. All right, this is hilarious. Do you see Elizabeth? This is great. Yes, I'm dying. So Elizabeth, she said this. She said, I carried around a bottle of coffee mate powdered creamer, which side note is the grossest thing ever invented. I carried around a bottle of coffee mate powdered creamer in my backpack and charged 25 cents a used. She's got where her water bottle goes in her backpack. Coffee baked creamer. She's like, yeah, you want some? I mean, they're probably rounding up to a dollar. You get four little squirts. Give me a dollar. She's making cash on coffee mate creamer, which is so great. She's like a little mobile coffee cart. Walking around high school. That's great. Yes. Hey, great. There's a reason wherever people were drinking coffee, that was not on the counter. Like, people are having coffee. Girls, just giving those little communion cup ones. There we go. Jamie, did you have a side hustle in high school? I feel like you did. I didn't. No, I really didn't. I wish my kids had side hustles. They could make some cash, but I did not. Derek, did you? I saw music, oh. That you made? Yes. Wait, you made your CDs, or you would record other people. I'd go home, I had an 8 track mixer. I'd make a beat with my keyboard, and then I'd make CD tapes. CDs or whatever. And I sell them. And that's what I did. High school. So here's the thing that I never got about the guys who sold CDs like hand them out on the streets. Like, hey, it's ten bucks. That kind of thing. They never have like speakers with them to play the music. That's what I was going to ask you. I did. So you let people hear it before they buy it. That makes sense. So in college, I had a boombox, and I would go downtown and I would just sell, I would stand outside of bars while people are waiting in line to get inside the clubs or the bars. I just have a boom box out there playing the music chilling and be like, yo, you want this, $5, whatever. What you want to pay for it. You know what I'm saying? I was different. Smart. That's great. That is smart. That's great. Let's see, Cara said she was a middle school. She used to sell duct tape wallets and starbursts, rapper bracelets. There you go. She always had customers, she said, always had customers. I like which way she's selling them for her. I don't know. Who in starburst rapper bracelets? Kids. Yeah, that's a little weird. Eyes are long story short. He just went around and picked a bunch of rocks and sold a door to door. Listen, guys are if anyone out there is trying to hire a salesperson. The guy is selling literal trash and rocks around the neighborhood. Okay, but listen, Kaiser also was in kindergarten. He was a kindergarten. What doesn't matter what a kindergartner came to my house. I always ask.

"E in the worship industry for the last several years. And so I am curious, how do you feel like where should music has changed since you started to now, and where do you see it going? Yeah, great question, because I've been doing this a while now, so definitely can get a bit of a overview. There's a bit of an art for sure. I think that I've seen so much progress, musically. I think just production levels, commitment to the craft of songwriting, the increasingly increasing culture of co writing, which is a win, we're always better together and most things in the kingdom of God and we may not be doing together, not on our own kind of lone ranger style. Lots of pluses in that area, even just different musical expressions and pursuit of genres is a things that are a bit wider than they were in that way as well. So that's all really great. The one thing I would say is the area we still need in growth in is really the content of the songs. The lyrical weightiness of the songs. And you know, it's not a fair comparison just to take sometimes people say, oh, the hymns are better than the new songs. And that's not actually sometimes a fair comparison, at least the way they do it, 'cause they'll take like the 15 hymns that have survived out the tens of thousands of hymns they were. The cream of the crop, the 15 that survived through 200 years, and they'll compare them to the last 15 songs that happened. That's not a fair comparison. And I think that there has been some growth in this area. I think there's people taking it more seriously than ever before. But

"You kind of wanted to fight putting all these songs about the cross on there. Do you feel like in the past you've you've had similar struggles where you were fighting a theme of an album or anything, or is this a new thing? I don't see afford it before, but I've definitely try and pay attention to what I'm doing. And I did notice so much of current worship song output from me and others. If you're not careful, it can just be about the cross of Christ and then me singing when there's bad stuff happening to me. You know, it's like me singing through the storm and the songs about the cross and actually, you know, if not a cynical way, but just to know it's helpful to review our output and review what we're doing and think, well, that can't be like 80% of what we're singing about. That's not the right thing because we got reflect scripture. We got time reflect it as fully as we can and even the story of God there's so much more to sing about. We definitely under sing the theme of creation. As well as pretty glad about this lamb of God song because that's creation and the cross. And what I love about that is when you sing about creation, you paint this backdrop of a creator God who's magnificent beyond degree and you know he's wise and he's powerful and his artistic and all those things. And then on to that you project the cross. And then we got something good happening here because we've got this paradox. We've got this mystery happening. You know, the one who hung in agony on beams of wood that he himself according to being. For so much worse about, you know, when it hits you hard, it's about paradox and mystery and wonder it's about how can these two things go together. The lion and the lamb, a God who thunders and whispers, a God who terrifies and befriends. You know, the king whose foot store is the earth, and yet he knelt down and washed the earth off the feet of his disciples. This is Jesus. This is who we worship and we were trying to draw people into that paradox. And when you say it, you know, a lot and then lamb, we get so used to saying things like that. Wait a minute, that's crazy. How can you be a lion and a lamb? That sounds absolutely nuts unless it's true and then it becomes beautiful. It becomes this amazing paradox this mystery, this sacred truth that we're drawn into. And so, yeah, I don't think a 40 before, but I'm always trying to review those things. Again, a lot of those him writers are the teachers. You look through and they are singing about so many things. I mean, just even just subjects, the names of God, God's given himself so many names by which we can know him and know more about him and we've probably understand the names of God. Some people say we understand the return of Christ. In fact, great hero to me lose Palau who I actually became a Christian through age ten. He went to be with the lord. He died last year and I actually got to go and sing at his funeral and but he, he said to me, one of the last things he said to me in the last conversation is hey we need more songs on the return of Christ. And the reason is because the return of Christ is important because it is keeps us alert

"Never know if you see there's like an overall theme for the album itself. Yeah, really, is that centrality across and in fact, I kind of thought it because we were like, asking a man, I keep trying to finish this record. I keep writing songs about the cross. People are going to think I'm a don't know anything about anything else. You know, this is almost slightly embarrassing. There's a lot to sing about here. And it's really important that as long as sing about the wide spectrum of what's available in terms of our Christian faith, but somehow this one I decided I'm not going to fight this. This is what's coming through. And it's one past to remind me, hey, we're always going to need a song about the cross because essentially we should be singing about it every Sunday. So we're all going to need some new songs about this. And so I decided not to fight it. And then once we kind of opened the floodgates, I think there's probably 5 or 6 songs about the cross with other songs with touch on it. And in fact, the album artwork. We were figuring out what to do with that. I remembered a photo, my daughter had taken. She's called Maisie and she's a student at Wheaton college and she'd taken this wonderful photo of her other art piece there by an artist called David JP hooker and he had taken a corpus statue of Christ on the cross from a derelict church. And this old statue and he'd made this amazing art piece out of it because he'd gone around Wheaton college campus. And collected debris from vacuum cleaners with the thought that in these vacuum cleaners so much of what in there is human. Skin cells are hair. And then he took all that and he lay in it several times all over the corpus statue. The idea being that this represents the fact that all of our sin and shame and all this wrong about us was later upon Christ, he took it all on himself and so wonderful art piece with a lot of meaning, my daughter took the photo and that was wonderful.

"As possible. Especially with these kids, because you know as well as I know, especially underage, like teenagers, that's really, really impressionable age as far as your confidence and self esteem and how you view the world. But then at the same time, I'm like D platforming somebody because they didn't disclose they had a filter and hitting them with a $30,000 lawsuit seems a little excessive to me, but $30,000 fine excessive. So I'm like, I don't know. This is one of the ones where I'm like, hey man, but that future, a futures social media future where as you're scrolling through your feed, you could easily identify this has been retouched. This hasn't, this has. This hasn't seems helpful. Because like, I mean, if you go through TikTok, you can see what filter has been put on the TikTok, right? Sure. So that's helpful. So to me, that's makes sense. Okay. Here's the filter that's used on here. Cool. I love that on TikTok. Because then you can use the filter too. You know what I'm saying? But I think they're really going after the Kardashians where it's like, this body shape that you are making aspirational is impossible. And that's causing societal ill. Because there's a generation of girls coming up that will not be able to live like that. But also, is that their fault? That's just an image that they created for themselves because that's what they want to look like. We can't say that it's their fault that little girls look up to them and want to be what they have created for themselves. I don't think that that's their fault, particularly I think it's our fault as parents as teachers as pastors for not, you know what I mean? Speaking more life, it's our people. Like, I mean, I don't know if you could find somebody for being like, hey, I edited this to make me look how I want to look at now. You know what I mean? I don't know. Well, I agree. They're not saying you can't post edited stuff. They're just saying, you need to tell people that this isn't what you look like. The Kardashians are not they have traditionally not been very open about the supposed surgeries, as they've had. There's a lot of things that you can kind of tell like you probably got some surgery done. But a lot of times they don't really confirm it because they don't want people to think that they got surgery. They want people to think they got it. But why do they have to tell you what surgeries they had? Does anybody care what surgeries are young girls who think like, oh, if I buy the waist trainer that Khloé Kardashian is selling, I'm going to look like Chloe. Chloe doesn't look like that because she bought a waste trainer. She looks like that because she paid thousands of dollars in surgery. But that's different because that's the selling of a product. Think about it. If I heard a vocalist and I'm like, man, I feel bad about like, I'm not saying it's the same degree, but I'm just saying like a reasonable example that I'm like, well, that voice seems unobtainable to me. Do they have to disclose what the producer did to make it sound that good? You know what I mean? Do they have to disclose that maybe they pitch corrected some stuff or they put some filters on the vocal that what I'm hearing come through my headphones when I listen to an artist isn't what they sounded like raw? Does that have to be, it just seems like this is not going to tell you what I can tell you with the passion of God. You have not heard one vocal for me without auto tune that you would want to hear. So just letting y'all know that's what it is. I guess, you know, there's my little disclosure, so I don't get fined. He has a little squeaky mouse voice. We got to do this. This is all AI. This is all AI, right? But I see the point, but then at the same time, I'm like, yo, if she wasn't, all right, let's say if Kim Kardashian didn't have the following that she had, what we care, how can we hold her responsible as a person for the mental health of all the young women that are watching her now if she was saying, hey, Biden's waist trainers to look exactly like me, that's false advertisement. I get that. But to be like, yo, we gotta make her disclose every booty lift in every dish and that. And if you don't do that, we're finding you, I think that. And I think we put a lot of Kim Kardashian way too much power than what she had. I think we gotta take some responsibility for ourselves. But we are talking about two different things, right? This original story started as if like Photoshop on a photo versus like Kim Kardashian and her surgery, I don't think she owes that to anyone to tell anyone unless she is selling a product. Which reminds me of that movie legally blond. Remember Emily way, I know. I know a lot. Thank you. When she had to defend the case and the girl didn't want to tell her alibi. Why are you just talking to Emily about legally blond? Like the rest of us haven't watched legally blond. I've never watched it. So sad. Maybe we'll watch it together, Emily. I'll come over to the crib and try not to quote every word, but I can do it. All of this will make sense when you watch it because this is what she had to deal with. But I think too with the surgery versus the photos is two different things. I just want to make sure. That's true. We evolved the conversation. Yeah, because I don't think that anyone owes us anything about what surgery they got. I mean, I think it would be a shame if they were like pitching some kind of health and wellness program. And then they're like, oh, they're actually getting tummy tucks. That would be. Well, I mean, let's be real. Who's the tall one? Emily, help me out. No, the motor tall one. Chloe. Yeah, yeah, Chloe. She did have like a fitness weight loss program on E or something. She helped people. I get in shape. And it's like, she lost all that weight, because she had a whole lot of surgeries and stuff. So I was like, it was a little misrepresented. I work out. So that's the thing where I don't think they need to dispose surgery, but specifically when they say or act like they attained this body or face naturally, that's where I'm like, I think the most egregious one is Chloe is she's had a lot of face changes over the years. But Kylie, in particular, she has had a lot of work done. And she's never really confirmed it. And that's the part where I'm like, okay, you don't just get a new nose. That's not part of puberty. You bought that nose, and you should probably clear it. I don't know, it's just one of those weird things where it's like, the way she talks about it, people are so if you don't think critically enough, you could just assume, oh yeah, she went through puberty, and it's like, that's not how you really works. Yeah, I was 23, I went through puberty. You might notice changed. Everybody does that. Gosh. Anyway, all right, what else do you have? The last thing I want to share is honestly just a really funny video. It keeps making me laugh. It's actually a video from 2020, but it's been making the rounds again and I think it's hilarious. So I want to share it. Yeah, so by the way, we posted this when it happened in 2020, and yesterday in staff meet our staff chat, people were sharing it. This was new. And I'm like, hello, we posted this. We were anyway, go ahead, share it. It's really funny. It's a video of Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt back in 2020. They were doing some zoom promo press rounds for their movie Project Power. And in this particular video, just Gordon levitt is asking Jamie Foxx questions about his life using the Google autocomplete function and he asked Jamie if he was a vegan and here's what he had to say. It is Jamie Foxx vegan. Actually I'm baptist and I've been baptist my whole life. To me, Jesus is the foundation, nothing against other vegans. I don't know where they go as far as heaven and hell is concerned, but I know where I'm going as far as heaven is concerned, genesis exodus leviticus numbers deuteronomy. Joshua judges Ruth for his second family first in kingsford and chronicles as her STD and my job sounds perfectly as you saw on top when I say Jeremiah let me taste the Zika there and Jose Joe Amos over that John and Michael and who's happened I had got malachite. It's about Jesus, okay? Nothing against vegans. But we going to hell over here. Flipped a few of those around, but good job, Jay. I think most of them, but there was a 80% completion rate there. But I'll be honest better than a lot of people said in churches today. Yeah. I was it sounds good to me. I was going to say. But the Bible.

"Deplatformed. Like a 30 $1000 fine. If I put an image up and I had it altered my Photoshop to make me look just a little bit skinnier, maybe I have a little more of a jaw line. I'd have to say this image has been altered. The fine is up to €30,000, which is about $32,000 in the U.S.. And you would also lose your platform. So you could no longer post anything at all. Yeah. So what do you all think about that? How about that? Really? Really? Is like, okay, this feels like, okay, I see what we're trying to do here. Let's help people not. Let's help young people not think that this is what everyone looks like. Okay, I see that. But then I'm also like, you got to create jobs for people to monitor people's social media, and then we got to have a job that's going to send them a fine, and then somebody has to follow up with that. And then isn't there other things we could be doing in the world? That's my second thought too. This feels a little bit like they're claiming it's a mental health crisis. That's what they're claiming that they're, but I think this is the line. Between individual responsibility to not look at images or filter what your people who you provide devices or Internet connections for versus what you want some large governmental institution telling you how you are and aren't allowed to express yourself. To me, that's more where the conflict is. It's like, well, where's the line? What about right now in Hollywood? A lot of a list actors have written to their contracts that they have to be electronically de aged in their films. I'm not talking like Robert De Niro in the Irish man where he's 30 years younger. I'm talking with Tom Cruise and Top Gun, right? Like if you saw Top Gun out of screaming, screaming where he comes on the screen beforehand. And thanks you for being there. And then you see what he looks like in the movie. He's been an electronically de age throughout the film to make him look not for plot purposes, but because he wants his image to be younger. Same thing with Mission Impossible. This is being written into a lot of big contracts that in post production, movie studios have to make their movie stars look better. What's the difference? Are you telling me I can't watch a movie? If the character is supposed to look slightly different than the actor, I have to have disclosures of every sort of digital effect that went into the post production. It just seems like that's entertainment. That's a little different. Influencers are entertainment too. But this is, okay, so obviously Europe is obviously always on the front end of Internet law. I mean, they just always are. So just consumer protection, copy, tracking, protection, different things like that. So all those cookie things that we all have to accept right now. That's all because of Europe. And then California followed suit. But what does that do? It's a disclosure thing. It's not banning cookies. It's not banning websites tracking you. Do you have to be transparent about it? Companies can't track you without you knowing. So it's a disclosure transparency thing that Europe is enforcing. This is the same thing just coming the other direction. It's like you can use the filter, but if you're going to portray a false image, from a mental health standpoint, we want to have transparency because a generation is coming up and it's like we can see with data and societal trends that this is harming the next generation. And so we just want transparency if you're going to do that to, you know, I can see their logic, but again, where's the line between a filter and just like changing the exposure slightly. So I looked a little less you know what I mean like at some point. It's in the write up, it's defined. It is altering the physical shape of the person. It's Photoshop and change. Colorization. Makeup or anything. When I use filters on Instagram stories, people send me messages all the time. I'm like, oh my gosh, your makeup looks so good today. And I'm like, it's a filter. It's just a little. We added a different color to it, you know? Which I think is that, to me, shows that these filters are getting so realistic that people can't tell the difference. And so I do think that there is a benefit in saying like, hey, this is not what I actually look like. Especially I'm thinking about these studies that are coming out about young women in particular who there was one study that said 50% of girls believe that they look better when they retouch their photos that they won't post a photo themselves if it hasn't been retouched in some way. And it's like, that's one out of every two girls is saying that. That feels like a big, I get what you're saying does see about the individual rights and stuff. But I do think that it is something that needs to be addressed in some way. Is this the best way to do it? I don't know. But I do think it is a conversation that needs to happen. And something needs to be done in some capacity. My guess is Jesse's point about this is unenforceable in mass. Right. And so my guess is that it's a virtue signal and that they will cherry pick. They'll do it Kim Kardashian. They'll do a high profile. Just to make a statement and then it's on the books. That's my guess. Because it's impossible that they would be able to enforce this globally. Billions of people using social media. But rather than have age restrictions on social media, I would be down for that in a heartbeat, like higher age restrictions. But Derek, do you use filters? This ain't gonna affect you? No, it's not, but I don't use such as at all. But I just, I see on one hand, it's not even right now, but also in the future. With the advancements in AI, it's about to get really, really. I mean, that's why the filters are so good is because AI is looking at your face and contouring it in a certain way. So I see it, I see it, I guess, for me, that's why I haven't said much because I kind of don't know, I feel like we're in a wild wild west. And I think that people are just trying to figure out how to cause as few casualties

Relevant buzz. Please welcome to the show. Our managing editor downtown Emily Brown to tell us what's happening at the intersection of faith and culture this week. Hey Emily. Hey, y'all. What's going on? Okay, I want to start off talking about blac Chyna who is someone that I did not think we were ever going to talk about on this podcast. This is crazy. This is crazy. She has been going through just phenomenal spiritual transformation. Really over the last year, but she started speaking about it within the last month. So just get ready. Don't know who she is, right? Everybody knows black China. If you don't, she's social media star, celebrity, she famously sued the Kardashians. She's not a launch. Hey, I learned reading our articles over the last week or so. That in 2020, she was the number one person on only fans, which I did not know. She made in one year on only fans $240 million. In 2020, in 2020. She's doing all right, or was doing all right. Here's what happened after that. I know she ain't spend all 240 million of that. No, Emily and I did the math. So even if that trickled into 2021, she's got generational wealth. She's got even after taxes. She's got at least 300 million. That's not a 10% a year. She's getting 30 million a year. She's all right. She's doing fine. Anyway. Emily, tell everybody what's happened after that. Okay, so like I said, she got baptized a year ago. But she just announced she just posted on Instagram and since then, she's been giving some more updates. So you mentioned her only fans account. She actually is no longer doing that. She announced she was stepping away from that because she just realized being a believer in being baptized that quote, that's not what God would want me to do. It's kind of degrading, which is fine. She realized that. Yeah. So she has stepped away from that. And she will not be doing that anymore. She also shared that she would be removing a tattoo of the goat headed demon baphomet from her body, which she got at a very dark point in her life. But she said that she does not want anything negative or demonic on her body anymore. Praise God. She also will be dissolving all of her plastic surgery that she's gotten over the years. So if you haven't ever seen her, she's got a lot of plastic surgery on pretty much anything you can do, like she's got fillers, she got implants, all of that. She's currently in the process of removing all of it. And she explained that she did it when she was just feeling really insecure and felt like she needed to do that to kind of live this sort of lifestyle, but now she's embracing a whole new lifestyle and she realizes that she doesn't need it. She's beautiful the way she is. So she's in the process of that. And then the most recent update actually came today, she posted on Instagram that she received a doctoral degree from the Sacramento theological seminary and Bible college. She has a seminary degree. A doctorate? A doctor. She did online. She got saved a year ago. She got baptized. She started making all these major life changes. And she enrolled in online seminary to get deep in her faith, went through the entire accredited process, and it just graduated in late January, got her degree. Wow. She is like, this is just like, it's not just like, I love Jesus now. I mean, she has made methodical serious, very vocal changes and I'm like, I'm so impressed. Good for inspires me. Someone who's been a believer for most of their life to maybe pursue more theological education and maybe get that tattoo finally removed. Joe. Maybe, maybe. We'll see. Well, maybe. It's really cool. Talked about has started sharing more because she's like, I just feel like other people need to hear this story and she wants to encourage them to make the same life choices if like Jesse have a demonic tattoo on their body to get a removed, make better choices with our lives. We're always hesitant to jump. I mean, we've been doing this 20 something years. We're hesitant when a celebrity is like, hey, I found God. And then we post a headline. Hey, DMX found God. And then two years later, he does something. It's just weird to just have that yo yo. So we try to stay away from it. But more and more and more posts from her. It was just like, we can't avoid this anymore. She is serious about this. And so eventually we started in the last week or so, just kind of summarizing all these things that black China has been doing. And she's not going by blac Chyna anymore. She wants to be known by her given name, Angela white. So like, please stop calling me a blac Chyna. So Angela Angela is called a Paul moment, yeah. Turning the corner. So we would just want to kind of like publicly celebrate that and stay in with their good for her, man. That's awesome. Yeah. What else is going on? Sort of speaking of influencers. There's a new law that has been introduced in France. It's not official yet, but it is in parliament right now. That it would require influencers to no longer promote any cosmetic surgery on social media, and they would have to label all of their images as filtered or if the image is filtered to retouch they would have to label it as such. Otherwise, they would face a fine and potentially be

"1057, it's a relevant podcast. Here in Orlando, I'm your host Cameron straying and joining me from lovely and Virginia. It's Jesse Carey. Hello. Oh, the whole cast is back. From national Tennessee artist producer mogul, Derek minor. What's happening? And from Austin, Texas, podcaster speaker, author, Jamie ivy. Hey guys. Miss you guys. I'm glad you're back. Everyone's back. You've all been traveling, so Jesse didn't miss the last couple episodes, but you guys did. Derek's been out on his world tour doing the listening tour. Jamie, I don't know what your excuse was. I went to lost valley ranch. Little young guns action. Oh, interesting. That is. It's like, you are Montana retreat. Oh, dope, okay girl, go get some milkshakes. I have a horseback riding question, but we can get to it afterwards. But then Jesse just got back hours ago from the birthday celebration. That he and his wife took in and Mexico. So I'm glad to see you back. I've been hearing some scary stories about American tourists getting not making it back from Mexico. So I'm glad you made it, buddy. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. That was a setup of all times. I know. That was great. I had amazing experience and everyone I met there was absolutely delightful. The U.S. government literally said spring breakers don't go to Cabo, don't go to Mexico for spring break right now. Never mind, it's Jesse's 40th. We're going to listen. All the things. I should make it into the United States. You can make it anywhere. I mean, right now, our president has just got a range. So it's like, you know, anything goes. Former president just got a raise. So we lit out here, so I mean, I think, you know what I mean? Well, and that's too quick things. It's not for that State Department warning. Wasn't for the entire country. It was just for a couple of states. And two, we actually did one where you went though. One was no, no, no, no. No, no. Exercise caution, which means basically don't go that night, which is fine. But I will say this. My wife and I were exceedingly cautious. We have a friend who works at State Department. And The Pentagon. And we called him and to be like, hey man, is this safe? Mainly, to be able to tell our loved ones, don't worry, we did our homework, because there's no way I was not going to go. But either way, fantastic time, highly recommend it. I guess go at your own risk, but I didn't see anything risky. All I did was relax and have a good time. But Jamie, I wanted to pivot back to the horseback riding thing. I personally don't believe in horseback riding, just as a human. For several reasons. Wow. Hot take from primarily they're terrifying gigantic animals. I don't think people realize how big and powerful horses if they have it there. Close to one in a while. Are you not terrible at any point that I'm only in horseback riding? It's one of my few actual phobias. Like I do not want to be on the back of a horse. I just flat out do not want that. Derek, if I went last year, it's fine. But when you realize that any moment that horse could freak out for any reason and you're on its back and it is a huge, strong animal. That is all I'm thinking about when I'm a horse. Jamie, camera and Cameron, I got a confession to make. I was scared as hell. The whole time. I just do what it is. I just did it. I just didn't say nothing, but I was scared as hell. I know, I know. I know you do. I call you out. You were cool. But you're right, man. It's like riding on top of a house. Of course, yeah. As I ride on top of a mini skyscraper, you know what I'm saying? I'm a big man. I'm 6 foot one, 6, two. I'm out there like, wow. I off the ground. Here's what you need to know that you may not know about me. I could use this in a truth or lie thing. When I was younger, a lot younger, like elementary school, I did a barrel racing. And so I had been around horses, I know. I did barrel racing as an elementary kid. So I'd been around horses a lot. I don't know what that is, but that sounds terrifying. You got three burials, a rodeo. You talking about that, oh, okay. I did that. If you look back to things that you did when you were like 8, it doesn't equal that you can still do them when you're 45. Just so you know. And so, but Jesse, I'll tell you this, there are a bunch of ladies there and Evan, the Wrangler, the head Wrangler, was like, okay, whose experience? And I'll tell you something about me is that I don't want to be in the group that is like, oh, you were the beginners. And so I totally was like, yeah, I know what I'm doing. And then he said some kind of term. Like, do you know how to do this? I'd never heard of that term in my entire life, and I was like, yeah, I don't know how to do that. So I totally got on these horses with the experience group as if I was like ready to do a rodeo. But we're just walking around. They're not gonna do anything. You're just walking. Right. Like, you know, although he did say, make sure your hat is secure because a hat blow an awful spook a horse and then they'll start running. Yeah, exactly. Don't worry, you're just walking around until the horse is freaked out. And I told her she couldn't ride in front of me. I was like, I don't want to take the risk of your hack. This is a true story, and I may have told this years ago. But in college, I was in Costa Rica. And with some friends, you know, just kind of and this was a budget trip because we were in college. And but one day, you know, we were hanging out on the beach and this guy comes over and he's like, hey, what I'm doing horseback riding, it's like $10. Dude, that is a great great deal, man. Horseback riding on the beach in Costa Rica. You're gonna remember that for the rest of your life, you know? So my two of my buddies are like, yeah, man, let's do it. And the guy comes back. And he has a two most mangy animals. I don't even want to use the word horse. Have you guys have you guys heard the term? This is where I learned what the term half ass is. It's awesome. It's ass in the biblical sense. That's what it means. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's half, it's half donkey. It doesn't work as hard as a full ass. It doesn't work. It's half ass. It's not a full house. Let's not do this half ass. Let's go all the way. All right. It's not a full fast horse. Is that a working donkey? This was a bread that way. Whatever he brought, whatever he brought was only half horse in this situation. And I don't know what the head bread it was. This was not a full, I don't even think it was a majority horse. And so my buddies load up on these and I'm like, okay, this looks really boring, 'cause they're strolling down the beach. I come back in a little while over like the sand dune. And I see screaming down the beach. One of them is in a full when I talk false friend. And he is holding on for his life. And all I hear is. Absolutely terrifying. I

"Well, that's good. It kind of peel back the layers and see a little bit behind the scenes with you. So we're looking forward to having you at refocus. I've mentioned this once before at the beginning, but I will mention it again. The thing, I don't know if we've done a very good job communicating this to our speakers, but we will if we haven't yet. But our heart of words you. And when I first hear something like that, to be honest, I kind of struggled with saying that's our theme. I thought, well, that's not original. It doesn't sound particularly on the edge, thinking, it's very simple. But it's so fundamental that I think we forget about it sometimes the importance of it. So we're just going to come back literally as Matt Redman would say would tell us to the heart of worship. But we're going to talk not only about the heart, how the lord will form that hard worship in us and how we can how we can stoke that fire by simple things like quiet times. But what we're hoping that we'll see happen through our speakers and our music and just the whole conversation small groups is we also talk about how does that work out in the ways of our attitude when we're leading other people and just how we what we do on a platform or what we do and we're not on the platform. Just how does it work yourself out in our lives. So we're looking forward to your piece of that puzzle, however you fit into that. Scott, I was with you I went with you. I was just up out in the congregation and experienced about two or three years ago when I heard you speak and thought, I don't even know the guy, but I want him to speak in our event. Because it was so, I know it was planned to some degree, but it felt very spontaneous. And you changed your message to do what you felt like God was telling you to do at the moment. You kind of changed.
