Hi, Unshaken Family. Welcome back to episode 53 of the Unshaken Podcast. We are so happy to have you with us. This is Christy. I'm here with Tony, my incredible husband. This past week was uh my spring break. And so we've just had kind of a break from our crazy, crazy I guess it's been crazy in a different way, but it's just been crazy in such a connective way. I've loved it. I've loved the downtime, I've loved the break. And as a result of all this downtime and all this um really beautiful stuff happening, I have come to this realization. And as always, when we have these moments of clarity, we like to bring them to you. What I'm realizing is a lot of really cool stuff happens in our life because we have a really, really faithful, steadfast God. And I don't always stop and notice it. I'm not always as grateful as I should be or as aware as I should be. You know, I pray and pray, like, please God, let this happen. Please, God, help us with this. And then it does. And I just keep on going in these sort of moments this week. It's just been really eye-opening. It's one of those where God kind of brought to my attention this issue, and then it came up again and again and again.

Tony 2:09

You know, God will bring things to mind that just reveal kind of where we're at when it comes to just the patterns that we're in. And I didn't want to let this week go by without celebrating the fact that the Unshaken podcast officially turns one. We are in our one-year anniversary, and it is unbelievable to see where we started a year ago to where we are right now, and I'm just blown away by by where we are right now.

Kristy 2:49

It's shocking the difference between the threat of an idea that we had a year ago and where we are now. I feel like somewhere along this way, Unshaken just kind of moved into the house and sat on our couch and put its feet up and just sort of made itself at home. And in some ways, it's it's become kind of like the furniture. Like you guys are a fixture in our lives. You're part of us now. And that's a really cool thing because we love you and we're super stoked to have a part in building this community with you. And at the same time, I think it also makes it part of our kind of our mundane everyday or or or the the fitting it in of things, right? And um, I think as a result, I know I have not been as grateful as I should be. I I haven't, I marvel at it. I'm I'm you know, I'm thankful and I love it, but I I just haven't sat with God and thanked him for his clarity in all of this.

Tony 3:53

And I think one of the things that plagues all of us, uh, myself included, is that we're not very good at stopping. I mean, we live in a society and a world that just is go, go, go, nonstop, 24-7. I mean, you know, our news cycle, you know, is 24-7. Like you can jump on any social media platform and see what's going on in that very moment, and we're just not very good at stopping and being grateful and having gratitude as our first reaction. God has been so faithful to us in so many ways, but how often do we stop and just truly marvel at his faithfulness instead of just go go go?

Kristy 4:53

I think you're right, Tony. This issue, for lack of a better way to put it, it shows up everywhere. It's sort of one of the casualties of you know, the crazy society that we live in. I mean, we have so many advances and so many connections and technologies. And I mean, we can talk about all the ways that we're connected with each other and you know, people across the ocean, people in space. I mean, there's there's all this stuff happening. It's the other side of that where it's a blessing and it keeps us diverted. I mean, it really does keep us diverted from the one who provides it. You know, as I sit here and say these words out loud, it's like, you know, somebody interferes, you know, how how busy can I keep them? You know, so that they don't turn back and say thank you to their father.

Tony 5:39

Like, and that is the dangerous part, right? Because you can get so busy and get in such a hurry that you may have started and we may have started walking with God and walking in kind of lockstep with him. But at some point we ran ahead and God saying, Whoa, we're stay here, stay with me. Instead, we ran ahead like little kids do. Good things don't happen at that point when you when you run ahead of your loving father who's trying to protect you, keep you safe, and guide you along the way. As the children that we are, we run ahead and we say, I got this. We don't notice the dangers that come with running ahead of our father.

Kristy 6:32

It's true. It's the I'll be right back. I'm just gonna go get this thing, I'm just gonna do this thing, I'll be right back. Our straight path becomes this path of clover leaves and and all these diversions. Back to this week. Last Friday, our baby came home, and I wasn't feeling great and whatever. It was, you know, it was just kind of one of those moments. The kiddo came home. The next morning we went to brunch and we're sitting at the restaurant across the table from each other. And this kid is 18, almost 19. And all I can think is growing up, this was my pokey little puppy. This was my noticer. For those of you that have been with us for a while, this is our teeth, hair, clothes, shoes kid, the one, you know, where we always had to remind and we always had to nag. And not because she wasn't a great kid, because she's, I mean, she's good as gold, but because she was everywhere. So I'm sitting across the table from this young adult, and we're talking about classes and we're talking about her laundry's done, and you know, could we please today go and take care of her car? And I'm just marveling at what's happened, right? At this kid, this baby, this little kid that I was so worried about for all of childhood. I sent away to college. I was terrified. I know there have been some health struggles and whatever, some mental health struggles. And sitting across from me, it just occurs to me that this is just a really poised, gracious, grateful, put-together kid. In all of my worry and in all of my scurrying around and fretting, God has raised this baby up into this incredible adult. And all I could think was, God, thank you. Like, thank you so much that you have brought this thing full circle. Like, I'm so proud of this kid. I'm so, so proud and so grateful just for the adult that she's become. And and God grew my baby up into this incredible, steady person. And we spent the whole day together. The absolute blessing it was to have that time with that kid and just have so many fears just absolutely allayed, and just have seen, I mean, absolutely the glory of God in all of this. And so much anxiety fell away, so much just chatter in my head, you know, so many things that have just eaten at me really fell away. And I can't express to you the gratitude that I just felt. I think that part of what we lose when we're not mindful, right? When we're not intentional about seeing the favors and seeing the blessings and seeing the gifts, when we're not mindful of those things, we lose the peace that comes with knowing how steadfast our God is. And we lose the hopefulness, the expectation that He will continue to meet our needs and to answer our prayers and to take care of our kids, you know, to handle the things that eat away at us and nag. Like we lose that security. I think that's one of the most beautiful parts of the gift of prayer and the gift of being able to go to our God and just sit on his lap and and chat with him like a little kid does with their dad. Like, I think one of the biggest pieces of that that is a gift to us is it's that assurance that, you know, just like with our own kids, you know, when a kid comes and curls up in your lap, there's so much security there. There's so much just safety and knowledge there that that your parent is there, that they love you, and that they're always going to be there for you. And when we aren't mindful, when we just live our lives and run ahead, like Tony was saying, I think we miss out on that. And I think I have missed out on a lot of that.

Tony 10:43

Part of what happens when when we stop to be grateful and stop to have this gratitude posture, is we're able to gain in our confidence that God is going to continue to be faithful. The confidence is able to grow steady roots the more that we're able to be grateful and show that gratitude, and really it's not even telling God about the gratitude, but it but when we speak it and when we pray about it and when we when we praise him, we're ingraining it in our minds because we're hearing ourselves say the words. We've talked about it before that when when you say something out loud, your brain starts to believe it. Those things are ways to strengthen confidence in his faithfulness, that he wants us to come boldly to his throne and come to him with the confidence that he is a loving father that is going to show up time and time again because he has shown up time and time again.

Kristy 12:09

And I think he wants us to tell the others, right? I think there's a lot of encouragement in hearing that, in hearing how faithful God has been, you know, with somebody else. I think it's just a reminder of what he can do in each of our lives. The afternoon that kid number one went out of town, kid number two came home, and this was our oldest. God, she ran me ragged. This kid is such an extrovert, big energy, you know, wanted to go shopping. But while we're running errands, and I'm talking to this kid as an adult, like as a peer. A while back, I think I told you guys, it's just a pivotal moment, one of the proudest moments of my life, was when Felicity, she was a first-year teacher, and she was at a school where the the teachers and the administrator, they all called each other by their last name. And I was with her, helping her get her classroom set up, cutting out the letters and whatever, all the stuff that goes on kindergarten wall. She taught kindergarten. A group of teachers, just you know, young women, came in and they were, you know, they all we were kind of standing in sort of a loose circle, just you know, chatting, and they introduced themselves and they all said their last name. And Felicity said, Baldwin, and I said, Baldwin. And um just that that moment of we are educators, we are both adult professional educators, it just kind of washed over me as such a kind of a legacy thing, you know? Um, and I was so proud and so, so grateful as her mother. I'm thinking about like how many times did we did we play school? How hard did we work to reinforce her academic foundation and to help her have a good school experience? And how faithful was God in all of that? And how faithful was he to see to fruition her path from being a little peanut that would play school with anything, anybody, you know, to now she's teaching. And I'm talking to her like as a as a peer, as an educator, like, and just talking to her, like, you know, asking her her opinion. How do you teach this? What do you think about this? And again, it was one of those just absolute gratitude, like, thank you, God. Thank you that you grew up this woman. All of the worry and all of the scurry and the, like I said, it's just so fragmented. Like there was so much angst that, you know, that that goes into raising a kid. And I look away for a minute, and I, and again, she's this professional, compassionate, absolutely competent, so literate, just brilliant. I was, I was so, so grateful for her company and for her professional, you know, her professional take on things. And and that's my kid, and that's only because of God and because of his absolute consistency. He stayed with her. She's a Christian woman, she makes Christian decisions. She teaches at a secular school, but you know, she leads with the heart of a Christian woman. I just couldn't be more grateful to God. And, you know, again, this is one of those spotlight moments this week where I just I realized I have gotten so far away from being in communion with him around this and just just staying present in the absolute gratitude for these, you know, for these things that happen when I just looked away. He never looks away.

Tony 15:37

You know, there's a verse in in the Psalms, it's Psalm uh 103, and it's verse number two, which says, Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits. And I think that's a thing that's so easy to do. It's easy to forget all the things that he does for us on a daily basis. Be grateful, be thankful for all the big things, but but but more than that, all the little things that that he does for us on an on a daily basis. It's so easy to to take for granted and to forget.

Kristy 16:19

So, confession time, another thing this week that has come up is been a marriage thing for Tony and me. And it was just one of those things that came to me. You guys know how I love him, and I'm so grateful for him. I'm so, so grateful to God that he made Tony for me and that that he's always been weaving our paths and bringing us closer and closer together all of our lives, you know, until now we we're married, we we're building this ministry together. And I am in my heart so very grateful. But how often do I remember to tell God, thank you for Tony? Thank you for this beautiful man, and thank you for for protecting my marriage when I work full-time at the school and I also teach for an online university, the podcast, you know, the kids' busy life, whatever, when I haven't been putting in all the work that I should be on protecting my marriage and and growing it. And they say it takes work and it really does. And not just for maintenance, but because I love him and I want to do right by him and I want to spend time with Tony and you know, make the investment. And I have not been as good about that as I should have been, and still here he is, you know. And again, if not for God, how far off track could we get? What could I lose in my lack of mindfulness and my lack of awareness of the consistency and just the just the steadfastness of our God? I'm so in awe of it. I'm I'm blown away by it and so very grateful and so just ashamed. Like I've I just haven't done a good job, and He hasn't let me down anyway.

Tony 18:06

I haven't done a great job of it either, and it came to both of us. So we've talked about it this week. We both kind of realized that as this week has been different than the last several weeks, let alone months. Because of that, even this morning we got very intentional about praying together and praying from a attitude of just gratefulness. Number one, we were grateful to God for how He has protected us, but also just grateful for each other. And we name that out loud and confess to each other that we hadn't been doing as as well as we should, and in so doing, also confessed it to God to say we're sorry that we haven't done right by our marriage, but also right by by him, because marriage is a gift from him to us, and we haven't been grateful for this gift. I think we kind of both realized it, you know, around the same time, and we just said, you know what, from today forward we're going to do better, we're going to be intentional, we're gonna be more mindful about being grateful not only for each other, but grateful to God for how He is providing and protecting and and all those things. So sometimes a break in rhythm is is what it takes to kind of get your attention to be able to say, Oh yeah, I I should be grateful for this. I think these things are the ways that God uses to get our attention when we're not as grateful as we should be.

Kristy 19:57

I think so too. I think uh the downtime, I mean, it's been so good for me and for my family, and you know, back to work tomorrow. You know, the rest has been fantastic. I'm excited to go back. I've missed my kids and I've missed my team, and I'm going back feeling stronger and better. And a big piece of that is this break that allowed me to see where I've been just so very busy. Another piece of my prayer is that God will help me going forward. Like I still have all of these pieces, right? I still have all of these things that have to get done in the course of a week. It's hours and it's it's a little bit of Tetris trying to kind of fit everything in and to be able to make time for the things that I want to do that don't necessarily have a deadline, whether it's blog posts that I have in my head that I want to write and, you know, get posted on the website, but something else has a due date. And so that's the thing that just kind of keeps getting pushed to the end of the line. And I just am being really intentionally prayerful that God would keep me mindful of my schedule and help me to arrange things in such a way that I don't get into that situation again where I let the busyness take the place of my mindfulness and kind of fall away from just the consistent posture of just gratitude and awe at the beauty of everything that he does for me. He never lets up, the beauty never lets up. I want to pay attention to that. I want to live facing it, you know, not with my back to it. And so I've been asking for, you know, for help with that too.

Tony 21:37

As I've sort of reflected this week and really thought about all the different ways that God has been faithful, this podcast and this community that we're building has come to the forefront for me just in so many like little ways. And one of the things that kind of surprised me. Me o over the last several months was just episodes that we didn't think were gonna really land with with many people ended up being really popular. And again, I think I think it's just God's faithfulness. There was an episode that I ended up recording literally at 2 a.m. Christy and I were apart, I was in Melbourne, she was on the west coast of Florida, and I was just kind of spinning my wheels trying to get an episode recorded. We couldn't record together, and so I knew I had to do like a solo episode. I ended up just kind of praying. God take every thought that's in my head just captive and help me focus, help me be able to say what you want me to say in these moments. It was in that moment as I'm as I'm praying that the idea for this 2 a.m. episode where I talked about the lies that we believe about ourselves, and the lies that Satan wants to whisper in our in our ears to make us doubt ourselves and doubt God. That's where the idea for that episode came in. I recorded it and it was 3 a.m. when I was done with it, and I did some very minor editing. Okay, you know, at least there's something there, but I you know, I never thought that it would do really that well. But honestly, it's done much better than I think either one of us expected. And and what it points to for me is there was a moment in that night where I could have just thrown my hands up and said, I'm not doing this. We're gonna take a week off. But God really placed it on my heart. No, do it. Speak from your heart, don't worry about getting it completely perfect, just go and let me put the words in your mouth. That's what happened that night. Is it the most polished episode when it comes to like audio and all that kind of stuff? No. But God shows me that the episode still really resonates um with a lot of you. And so thank you for pressing play on that episode and um and uh continuing to share it. It just shows me that his faithfulness goes beyond polish. It's just being present.

Kristy 24:30

I think for me, something that came to mind while you were while you were talking about that, Tony, is a dear friend of ours um mentioned to me about that episode that it was something that she had needed, that she um came across it in one of those, you know, long, dark nights where where those doubts, where those lies were kind of scrolling through her head. It was exactly what she needed. And it's those moments where the dots kind of connect that God knew that she had that need at the same time that he is telling Tony to record this episode and and knowing that it would come to pass this way. And who else, you know, who who knows who else, you know, needed to hear those words or whatever. It just, I don't know, it's just it's so neat to me to think about how just in his sovereignty, he has just the whole picture. I mean, everything is it's just this intricate matrix. It's just kind of mind-blowing when you think about all of the people and places and times that he has connected and he brings his plan together in whatever way he, you know, he has, you know, he has written. And what an overarching reason for mindfulness to just to remember his greatness.

Tony 25:51

Yeah, something else that came to mind for me this week was when Christy and I went to Podfest earlier this year, I remember we were there at the hotel. We had just checked in, threw our bags in our room, and we were downstairs about to go to like this kind of like orientation session. And I remember thinking, why am I here? Is this a waste of time? Do I even deserve to be here? In that moment, as we're making our way, I get a text message from a friend of mine, and he says to me in in the text message, dude, I just listened to your podcast for the first time. This is awesome. You guys have such a flow, you guys gotta keep doing this. Please keep doing it. I can't wait to listen to the next episode. Just such a message of encouragement, and for the four days that we were at Podfest, every morning he was texting me more encouragement about episodes that he had listened to either the night before or that morning. We sort of laughed about it, you know, later. He's like, You're probably tired of me texting you, man, but I can't stop listening to these episodes. You guys really are doing this the right way. I just remember thinking, man, if you only knew how much that encouragement means to us to know that this is landing with somebody, that it is helping someone. I know that for me, and I'm I'm sure for Christy, that when we get that kind of encouragement, when we get that kind of feedback, it's such a relief in a lot of ways and encouragement to keep going.

Kristy 27:51

Things look different from my perspective sometimes than they do from Tony's. And because I do stay so busy, I hate it. This podcast, this the ministry itself doesn't always get priority status with me. And again, it's because of other things that have, you know, deadlines and requirements. And, you know, there's kids counting on me to, you know, to do certain things at certain times and whatever. Bandwidth-wise, I, you know, I come to this podcast and I want to give it, you know, everything I can. And what I can isn't as much as Tony can. God has just kind of cleared a little uh path for him, you know, again, in his sovereignty and knowing that he has a plan and that he has something that he wants to accomplish with this. And I see him using Tony in such an incredible way, but he has not cleared my path. I think sometimes for me, there's a tension, right? In the it's the work I want to do, it's the work my heart leans into me doing. And at the same time, there's such a cost because time is such a precious thing for me right now. And so that tension is is always there. And to hear that kind of encouragement and to to know that God brought those words and that he does, right? God brings us these just little nuggets of encouragement, just in those really tough moments where I'm thinking, like, I don't know if I have it. Like I, you know, I'm beat. I don't, I don't know if I have it right now. And it just seems like always, Tony. I mean, do you have that same experience? Like whenever I'm I'm close to like the end, this is the end of the line for me. This is all I got. Somebody says something, and I'm just like, wow, this really matters. Like this, there's value in this. I need to, I gotta keep going.

Tony 29:42

I need to give Christy a lot of credit because she already had a a full plate before the the craziness of this ministry and and this podcast. And I I remember, you know, the look on her face when I even suggested that in the car as we came home from a conference and where we started from. And this podcast is is way out of Christy's comfort zone. Like this is not what she would have uh signed up for, you know. I mean, Christy is one that that she would rather write 10 books, course curriculum and and all of that stuff, being willing to jump in here with me and do something that is doesn't come naturally to her. And and to be honest, guys, it doesn't come naturally to me either. At the same time, I I do think that that God did clear a path for me, not only to to speak on the podcast, but really to learn all the ins and outs of the podcast. Doing a podcast, it's not just about hitting record and then uploading some file somewhere. Like there's a lot that goes into this. There's a lot of hours that you know she sees me working on the on the podcast that doesn't have time to to give to. And that's no fault of her own. It's just it's just the reality of our lives. And so, again, God being faithful in knowing that I would have the bandwidth to do this, faithfully giving us the energy and the encouragement right when we needed it to be able to keep going when the tough days come. There are moments on this podcast that I see the Holy Spirit truly fill Christy, and Christy has those moments where she says things on a podcast. There is just no doubt in my mind that in that moment the Holy Spirit is just speaking through her, and one of those moments that I will never forget came in uh I believe it's episode 25, where we talk about how it's not an accident, it's not about plan B. And Kristy just gets so passionate about the word still.

Kristy 32:13

Oh.

Tony 32:14

Christine, you want to talk about that for a second?

Kristy 32:17

Oh, it just bugs me so much. Um, you know, if when you uh when you work in a disability space or live in a disability space, you know, and people want to give you um encouragement in whatever way they, you know, that they feel they can. Forgive me, but sometimes you get, you know, platitudes. And one of the things I hear so often is God can still use him. It's don't worry, God can still use you. And I'm like, what are you talking about? What do you mean, still? Like this wasn't God's absolute intention from the beginning. Like, this is not scraps, this is not leftovers. Like it makes me think of like the the leftover dough after you've cut out the biscuits. Like, no, like he is the biscuit. He is, and this is this is what God intended. Like, God made him with a disability for a specific reason to do this on purpose. This isn't, it isn't a still. We can still use it even though it's different. God, it just bugs me so much. Sorry, I get so fired up about it, it just irritates me because there's nothing less. There's nothing less about someone who's different, whether it's a disability or a sensory difference or a neuro difference. I mean, it God made us exactly how we are on purpose. Nobody snuck through as an accident and can still be used.

Tony 33:49

These things are just these moments are things that that just tell me that, you know what, God's here in in these moments, and God does place things on our hearts when we are showing gratitude for these things, it's about us truly remembering what he has done and what he is continuing to do.

Kristy 34:20

That's the thing, right? It's when we're mindful, when we are in the proper posture and we're mindful of of all of the blessings that our beautiful God um just bestows on us constantly. I don't know how to say it differently. We're mindful of all of those things, right? It's a different way to live, right? It's it's not being oblivious. Feels different when you're in that close relationship and you are remembering, you know, to praise him and to thank him. I think everything about life and everything about the way you experience your days is different, right? It's not that's the just the clever part of God's plan is when we treat him with the honor and the and the respect that we should and and we are mindful, it just blows back on us like so many good things. And it just really uh it just changes like the user experience. I don't I don't know what to say about that. It just when we live and we get distant from him, we live like we're distant from him. It doesn't feel good.

Tony 35:23

I think it goes back to what we said before. When we actually remember and we we speak those things out loud, it changes how we walk into the next thing that is coming our way. It does truly build the confidence that we should have from the very beginning about how God is going to show up. Now, I think the one caution and the one guardrail is God may not show up exactly the way that we think he should, or the way that we want him to. But that doesn't mean he doesn't show up. He is showing up, he's just showing up in a way that he knows is better because he knows better versus the way that we think that he should show up.

Kristy 36:18

That awareness, that gratitude, it it changes our focus, right? It doesn't take away the things that we're living through that are difficult, it doesn't change our circumstances, but it does keep us from seeing those hardships as the whole story. It keeps us mindful that there's there's more going on than just the trials.

Tony 36:39

And so when we think about having this mindset of being grateful and this mindset of giving thanks and this gratitude towards God, you don't need a podcast anniversary for this, right? You don't need a podcast for this or anything like you just or a spring break. Yeah, or a spring break. You just have to realize that your story's not done yet. We realize that our story is not done yet. There's still things like that God wants to do in your life, in my life, and Christy's life. If we're able to stay grateful and we're able to stay mindful of the things that he is doing, then it gives us the confidence to go forward to do even greater things than what he's doing today.

Kristy 37:34

For me, there's just there's moments that I I just never want to forget. I never want to not be mindful of. And friends, I'm guessing you have that too. I'm guessing there are moments, you know, if you look back across your week or 2026 so far, or the past 12 months, or, you know, just whatever season that you're in, I'm guessing there's moments that you don't want to forget that you want to stay mindful of. And so, I mean, I would just encourage you to like think about it, think of a couple of things and, you know, say them out loud, say them, um, you know, say a little prayer out loud to God, you know, or or just say them out loud to yourself and and marvel at, you know, his just benevolence and and love and just the absolute intricacy of his plan. Bring it up at the breakfast table, you know, mention to your family, like, hey guys, do you remember when, you know, when this happened? Like, wasn't that awesome? Wasn't that so cool of God? You know, have those conversations. It's pleasing to him. And, you know, there's just so much encouragement to be had for you and and for your family or for, you know, for whoever you share it with. Maybe you share it at work or um, you know, with your spouse and and really turn somebody's day around. I would just encourage you to, you know, try it on, see if it fits.

In the spirit of saying that our story isn't is isn't finished, be on the lookout for for so many things. I mean, we we are adding uh resources to uh the website all the time. The website is getting updated all the time. We're doing more on social media. We're gonna start what we call unshaken conversations where it's specifically interviews with people that we know and love, and the first one of those will will be coming in a few days. And Christy did a a great job on that, and and so uh be on the lookout for that. We're gonna start posting really, really short devotionals just to give you a kind of a a moment between episodes of just a thought or or something that you know God has placed on my heart or Christy's heart. And when I say short, I do mean short. Like these are gonna be anywhere from eight to twelve minutes. That's it. Just something short, just to give you something to chew on kind of midweek. We're touching bass with you more than just once a week on Tuesdays. That's gonna be coming um in the next few weeks as well. So there's gonna be resources on all of the episodes that we're doing. You know, we're we're creating those resources as fast as our fingers can type. And uh Christy's really holding down the lion's share of that, but uh I am going to get get moving and getting gear, and so you'll see blog posts for from uh both of us, and you'll see resources from both of us and all that kind of stuff.

Kristy 40:35

So can I ask you something? Yeah, where is the blog right now?

Tony 40:39

Where is it housed? So the blog right now is on unshakenministries.org slash blog. So if you go to unshakenministries.org, there'll be a link that just says blog. You can click that and and you'll see all the blogs there. Uh so definitely uh go there and uh check that out. Again, Christy's been typing like crazy, and uh she's got some great blogs there, and you'll see some from me as well in the days and and weeks to come. So uh hopefully you guys will uh enjoy those and and those will just be extensions and just bigger thoughts of of you know the things that don't necessarily fit in a podcast, but just something just to kind of chew on and go a little deeper on as we go forward. Anything else, Christy?

Kristy 41:30

Just that you could also um I think on the same page there's a a tab with a contact, so you could click and just say, Hey, let us know um if there's something that we could pray for um for you, or you know, something that you're struggling with, or something cool that happened this week, or if you had a question or something that you wanted, you know, wanted us to talk about, or I mean, just anything, like just reach out. We're we're all friends here and we would love to hear from you.

Tony 41:58
