  Speaker 6: needed to talk to her, But what could it be about?
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: Camp Director Joyce is worried that she hasn't been as
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: efficient and organized as a camp director should be. Ever
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: since mister Garcia's conversation with Joyce, he's begun to worry
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: just the teensiest little bit that the wonderful costumes that
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: he borrowed might not end up being free after all.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: And Hattie, she might be more worried than anyone else.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: She's the activities director, but is the special activity that
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: she spent so much time planning going to end up
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: being a failure. She'll find out later this morning when
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: the first campers arrive at the craft tent. Well, right
• 1:51

  Speaker 6: pancakes and fresh blueberries. Let's join them for today's episode
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: called Seriously Serving.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: This is going to be the Awesomest summer camp ever, Hugo.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: Awesomest isn't even a word.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: It is now Cyrus.
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: That's counselor Cyrus to you, Hugo, at least this week.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, counselor Cyrus. But you know it's going to
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: be the awesomest. James has such cool stuff for us
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: to do.
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: Henry and I want to do the ropes course.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Don't forget the climbing wall, Luke.
• 2:30
  Speaker 10: Oh and James is working on an offstacker course too.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: That's right, Jackson, my man. Awesomest summer camp ever.

  Speaker 11: Chunselor Addison, what are we doing first? Today? Natalia and
• 2:43
  Speaker 11: I want to go swimming.
• 2:45
  Speaker 10: I want to try my new swim goggles.
• 2:47
  Speaker 12: You get a chance to swim later this morning. We're
• 2:49
  Speaker 12: going to the craft at first. That's what I was
• 2:51
  Speaker 12: hoping for. You're very artistic, aren't you, Piper.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: I love drawing and painting and making things.
• 2:58
  Speaker 13: Those are okay, I guess, but I prefer STEM activities.
• 3:04
  Speaker 9: STEM activities.
• 3:05
  Speaker 13: STEMS stands for science, technology, engineering, and math, the really
• 3:10
  Speaker 13: important stuff.
• 3:12
  Speaker 12: You know, Lily, STEM is being replaced really now. It's
• 3:16
  Speaker 12: usually called steam. Steam the a stance for art.
• 3:22
  Speaker 13: Yay, art, Well, what does art have to do with science, technology,
• 3:27
  Speaker 13: engineering or math?
• 3:29
  Speaker 12: Well, art is intertwined, like campy, the robotics team use
• 3:33
  Speaker 12: art to create the cute little robot.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Remember.
• 3:36
  Speaker 11: Oh yeah, robotics is steam.
• 3:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 12: Lots of things are Like if a musician understands the
• 3:43
  Speaker 12: physics of sound, they can create better music, right, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 12: guess so, And an artist who understands chemistry can choose
• 3:51
  Speaker 12: and use better paids. Leonardo da Vinci combined art and science.
• 3:55
  Speaker 12: Ever heard of him?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 3:57
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he's like super famous.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So let's give art a chance.
• 4:01
  Speaker 12: When we go to the craft tent, miss Hattie's activity
• 4:03
  Speaker 12: is going to be super fun.
• 4:06
  Speaker 13: Sounds like you're trying a bit too hard to convince me,
• 4:09
  Speaker 13: but okay, I'm all for steam.
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: Full steam ahead.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Meanwhile, across the cafeteria, James, I really need your help.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Oh I don't know, Hottie.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I can help. I'll be checking all the activity areas
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: today anyway, you know, being a more hands on camp director.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Joyce, but I need James for this to work.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, look, Hattie, I'd love to help out, but
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I just can't right now. But James, I have to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: go to Trekkers right after breakfast, and after that I'll
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: be supervising kids at the climbing wall for the rest
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of the day.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Trekkers, are there supplies you still need?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I could get them for you.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks, But I have something to discuss with mister Simon.
• 4:55
  Speaker 11: What about?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Oh hey, look at the time, I better get going.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Talk to you later, James Holt.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: What are you and mister Simon up to?
• 5:07
  Speaker 11: And at another table?
• 5:10
  Speaker 14: Harold, Harold, Now what Janet? Look over there at the
• 5:16
  Speaker 14: staff table? What about it?
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: So you sitting together again?
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Yes, a bunch of the staff.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Harold, you know good and well when I'm talking about
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Hattie and James.
• 5:29
  Speaker 14: Yes, and I don't think it's any of our business.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: But aren't you the teensiest little bit curious?
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: No?
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: Not really, Well, I think this needs to be investigated.
• 5:38
  Speaker 14: And I think I'm going to have another pancake before
• 5:42
  Speaker 14: Logan and Kyler eat them all.
• 5:46
  Speaker 11: Mia, I wish you were here.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: As the campers and staff finish their pancakes. It's clean
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: up time.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Hey, Natasha, your cabin's doing archery next right right, Brianna
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and Haley are finishing up the dishes, and then we'll
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: be right over. I'll walk with you. There's something I
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: want to ask you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 10: Brianna and I are done, Miss Natasha.
• 6:09
  Speaker 15: Quick work, awesome, and here come Jennet and Lanta. All right, Brianna,
• 6:14
  Speaker 15: you all head to the archery range. Miss Holton, I
• 6:16
  Speaker 15: will be right behind you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 10: Race you guys, it's on no food.
• 6:22
  Speaker 11: We weren't ready.
• 6:26
  Speaker 16: You want to raise?
• 6:26
  Speaker 11: Do you? Joyce? No way?
• 6:29
  Speaker 16: Okay, spill it. What's bothering you?
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: Natasha?
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: How do you think I'm doing?
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 6:37
  Speaker 16: You're definitely worried about something.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, as camp director.
• 6:43
  Speaker 16: Oh well, why do you ask?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I was just wondering if you might have heard anything
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: like from mister Simon.
• 6:50
  Speaker 16: Heard anything about you?
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: No, would you tell me if you had? Did he
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: make you promise not to say anything?
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: Joyce?
• 6:59
  Speaker 16: What are are you getting at.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Do you think mister Simon is going to replace me.
• 7:04
  Speaker 15: Replace you? Why would he and who would he replace
• 7:08
  Speaker 15: you with? Being camp director is hard. It's not like
• 7:12
  Speaker 15: any of us are lining up for the job.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Don't be too sure you.
• 7:16
  Speaker 16: Think someone's trying to get your job?
• 7:18
  Speaker 11: Who James?
• 7:20
  Speaker 16: Oh, don't be ridiculous.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not being ridiculous. Surely you've noticed how much more
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: involved James is this year.
• 7:28
  Speaker 16: Oh, I guess so.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Your granddad mentioned he thought a rope's course would be
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: nice to have someday, and James ran with it. When
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: he wasn't in class, he was studying plans and researching regulations.
• 7:41
  Speaker 16: He was certainly dedicated to the project, and.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: He was constantly on the phone fundraising and recruiting volunteers
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: to build it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 15: Okay, I agree James has really stepped up his game,
• 7:52
  Speaker 15: But what makes you think he wants your job?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: He as much as said so, he offered to take
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: over some of my duties, and he and mister Simon
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: are definitely up to something.
• 8:03
  Speaker 16: We have been talking a lot lately, haven't they.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: And they don't seem to want anyone to know what
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: it's about.
• 8:09
  Speaker 15: Look, Joyce, you're probably worrying for nothing, but I promise
• 8:13
  Speaker 15: to let you know if I hear anything.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, I'm stepping up my game too, and
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: trying to be the best camp director I can.
• 8:21
  Speaker 16: Be, and the best archery instructor too.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Now that's a target.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: I know I can hit.
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: All Right, guys, go in and pick a table to
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: sit at for nearly counselor Cyrus the craft tent.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Why can't we go see what James is doing with
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: the obstacle course?
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: When do we get to do the actual fun stuff?
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: Doesn't sound like your guys are very enthusiastic, Cyrus.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: Want to switch places, Addison, Your cabin seems a lot easier.
• 8:53
  Speaker 12: Not necessarily, I have Lily, I'll.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: Trade you for Hugo and Jackson.
• 8:59
  Speaker 12: Oh, I'm guessing how can win them over. She's been
• 9:01
  Speaker 12: planning a really great activity for.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: The kids, A moment of truth, Hattie. Let's hope this works.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, something exciting like making pot holders paint rocks.
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: There are rolling pins on the tables.
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: Are we baking something? It's the craft tent, Piper, not
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: the baking tent.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: But we will be baking something, Lily, huh hmm.
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: Baking might be okay, if it's something good like cookies.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jackson, so we have energy for James obsco course.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Oh no, you won't be eating anything you bake here.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: You might break a tooth.
• 9:43
  Speaker 12: Oh, don't keep us in suspense, Hattie. We want to
• 9:46
  Speaker 12: know what your special project is.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: The first thing we're gonna do is learn about slab pottery.
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: Slab pottery, yes.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Pottery, which is made from a flat sheet of clay.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: So that's what the rolling pins are for.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, to make a plate for the cookies we don't
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: get to bake.
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna make a vase for my mom, a boring
• 10:09
  Speaker 11: old face. I'm gonna make a volcano at the top.
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: I'll put a.
• 10:13
  Speaker 13: Hole you can fill with baking soda and vinegar and
• 10:16
  Speaker 13: make exploding lava. We're making tea cups, teacups like my
• 10:22
  Speaker 13: grandma uses or the Queen of England.
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: Good question, kid.
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: Stop calling me kid.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I don't like tea.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Well, these aren't gonna hold tea. Now we're gonna make
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: special cups. They're gonna be tall and narrow.
• 10:39
  Speaker 16: Hmm.
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: Now this is mysterious.
• 10:41
  Speaker 11: What's going in the cups?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you'll have to make it to find out who's.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Ready, Poor Hattie, it doesn't look like her idea is
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: going over very well. Well the campers enjoy this activity,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: we'll find out right after this break. Let's head back
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: into the craft tent and see how the pottery activity
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: is going so far.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Counselor, Cyrus, why can't we be doing something with James?
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Look at this, Clai Lump.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: You just have to focus, Hugo.
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: But we want to do something fun.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: This will be fun, Jackson. But it's going to be
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: more than that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 11: What do you mean We're.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Gonna have a challenge with a special meaning. How many
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: of you like going to Miss Michelle's cafe. It's more
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: than just a cafe, though, isn't it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: It's a bakery too.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, Luke, but it's even more. Miss Michelle isn't
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: just serving lemonade and brownies. She's serving people.
• 11:45
  Speaker 10: H seriously serving.
• 11:47
  Speaker 13: Of course, she serves them. They can't just help themselves
• 11:50
  Speaker 13: to her cookies.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Too bad.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Has anyone here ever taken the famous cafe lemonade challenge?
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: Y'o, you're missing out. The lemonade challenge is epic.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Cyrus. Can you describe it for the campus?
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: Well, the thing is you have to find a tall
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: cup and pour lemonade right to the top, then carry
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: it slowly no spilling, and serve it to someone.
• 12:18
  Speaker 11: That's sort of interesting.
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: Oh, let's try it and race to see as the fastest.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: No, you're getting way ahead of me, Jackson. Listen at
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: the end of the lemonade challenge. What do you do, Cyrus?
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: Oh, you drink lemonade together.
• 12:32
  Speaker 17: Yes, and you sit sipping lemonade, and it's much easier
• 12:36
  Speaker 17: to start conversations, to make new friends and then to
• 12:40
  Speaker 17: introduce them to their friend Jesus.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Why because God wants us to he does. Yes, Hospitality
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: it's a spiritual gift.
• 12:50
  Speaker 12: Hey, I was just reading about that. I think it
• 12:53
  Speaker 12: was Romans twelve thirteen.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: That's right, Addison. It says, supply the needs of God's
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: people extend hospitality to strangers.
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: God wants us to take strangers to the hospital.
• 13:09
  Speaker 11: Hospitality, Luke, not hospital.
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: What does hospitality mean?
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: It means we're having a lemonade party instead of doing
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: something fun.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Look, you'll understand more about this as we go along,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I hope. Right now, let's keep rolling out our clay.
• 13:27
  Speaker 10: Looks like summer camp might not be as fun as
• 13:30
  Speaker 10: we thought it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: Would be, Hugo.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Then we'll just have to make it fun.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: Hey, Addison, Patty's idea isn't going over too well, not
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: with my campers anyway.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Poor LILYI but they'll come around.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: I hope. So you've done the lemonade challenge, right.
• 13:45
  Speaker 12: I mean yeah, but I'm terrible at it.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Hey, maybe this summer you'll get better.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: We'll see well. Anyway.
• 13:53
  Speaker 12: Next we go to mister Garcia's and all the campers
• 13:56
  Speaker 12: love drama.
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: Don't say that I've had enough drama day.
• 14:00
  Speaker 12: Come, Cyrus.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I'm clean and am I'm glad to see you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: I'm glad to see you too, Hugo, and I'm glad
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: to see you're so excited about this year's drama protection.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I'm excited about anything that doesn't involve pottery, teacups, tea cups.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: It's a long story, mister Garcia. Spend some time in
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: crafts and you'll understand.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: I'll take your word for it, Cyrus.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: Okay, settle down, guys and sit in front of the stage.
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: We have to make room for the other cabins too.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Wow' mister Garcia, how do you get all those big
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: heavy rocks into the stage.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Easy logan. They're not heavy, they're props and they're hollow inside.
• 14:43
  Speaker 13: Whoa, they look so real, mister Garcia, what story are
• 14:48
  Speaker 13: we doing?
• 14:49
  Speaker 11: I loved the story of Gideon last year.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: You were a Midianite soldier, weren't you, Lily?
• 14:54
  Speaker 11: Can I be a soldier again? Please? Soldiers get to
• 14:57
  Speaker 11: wear armor and march around.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: And I'm afraid there are no soldiers in this year story.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: But there is a camel.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: Hugo, You're not supposed to be backstage.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: A councilor cyrus.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: There's a camel.
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: Look a cat.
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: Wow, there is a camera, mister Garcia. Where'd you get it?
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: It's so big? Does it have a name?
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: All right, everyone sit back down, and please don't touch
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: the camel. It'll be very expensive if anything happens to it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: But where did you get it? Valley Community College down
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: in the city. And if you think the camel is impressive,
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: wait till you see the other costumes I got.
• 15:41
  Speaker 11: You mean the camel is a costume, yes, Jenet.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: It operates like a big puppet. Someone sits cross legged
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: inside and operates levers and strings to make it moved.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Not everything works, but it's ears and tails still twitch.
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: That is so cool.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: Hey, I think we could do a podcast about.
• 16:01
  Speaker 11: The camel Harold, It's mountain mysteries. Remember where's the mystery?
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: And a camel puppet?
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: Mister Garcia, are we doing the story of baby Jesus?
• 16:12
  Speaker 11: Why would we be doing a Christmas story? Luke, it's summer.
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: The wise men had camels.
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: That's not the only Bible story with camels.
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: Then what story are we doing?
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: The story of Eliezer? Eliezer he was Abraham's servant.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: A servant who wants a story about a servant?
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that doesn't sound very interesting.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Oh but it is. This story has everything adventure and
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: suspense and even romance.
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: Yuh, romance? Luck? First, Miss Hattie's having a tea party,
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: and now the play has romance.
• 16:58
  Speaker 12: Oh no, Cyrus, I thought Lily and the others would
• 17:01
  Speaker 12: love drama. Then mister Garcia had to ruin it by
• 17:04
  Speaker 12: mentioning romance.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: Kids that age don't really understand it, do they, Addison,
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: I don't think kids our age haven't figured out either. Well,
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: let's hope mister Garcia figures out how to deal with
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: these reluctant actors.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: How will mister Garcia convince the campers that the account
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: of Abraham's servant, Eliezar is a fascinating story. Perhaps we'll
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: find out. After this break, let's head back into the
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: drama tant and see how things are progressing.
• 17:38
  Speaker 11: I thought the drama production would be fun.
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: The kid's right, we're doing a story about a servant.
• 17:44
  Speaker 11: I'm not a kid, mister Garcia.
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: Last summer the play was about.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Gideon, a hero.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Aliezar was a hero. Think of it this way. In
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: a typical hero story, the hero has a quest, a
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: mission to carry out, right.
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, what's a quest?
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Well, Natalia, it's a search for something precious or an
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: important or dangerous assignment you've been given.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Like a king sending his nights out on an expedition.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Exactly. Eliezar had a quest. Abraham sent him on a
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: very important mission.
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: What kind of quest?
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Abraham sent him to find a wife for his son, Isaac.
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: You're gonna talk about romance again, aren't you.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid so, Lily, But it won't be as bad
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: as you think. Romance doesn't necessarily mean mushy and sentimental.
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: It doesn't.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: No.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Romance means a story that depicts adventure and heroic deeds.
• 18:42
  Speaker 12: Mister Garcia is right. I learned that working at the library.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: But servants aren't heroic. Let me explain the story to
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: you guys.
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: Promise you won't get too mushy.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: I promise.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Now listen everyone. Eliezar wasn't just a servant. He was
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Abraham's STUDI He was in charge of everything he owned,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: and Abraham was a very rich man.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: So Aliezer was like Abraham's manager.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Right logan an extremely important position. In fact, Abraham trusted
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Aliaezar so much that at one point he made Aliazar
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: his heir.
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: What's an air?
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: An air is the person who would inherit all of
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Abraham's property, herds, and belongings. But when Abraham and Sarah
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: finally had their miracle son, then Isaac became his father's heir.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Wait, so Abraham asked Eliezer to find a wife for Isaac.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: But Isaac was the guy who had replaced him.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Oh that's one way of looking at it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: Why would Eliezer agree to do that? Wasn't he jealous
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: of Isaac?
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: I would have been jealous.
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: Eliezer would have been like a gazillionare if Isaac had
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: it come.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Along, Eliezar left God, and he knew Isaac was the
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: child God had promised to Abraham, so he agreed to
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: travel through rough, dangerous country to find the perfect wife Isaac.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: And he did it riding a camel, which isn't exactly comfortable.
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: That sounds pretty heroic, doesn't it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Now let's talk about who's going to play which parts. Logan,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I'd like you to play a liaiser.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Sure thing, mister Garcia.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: And Harold, how'd you like to be Isaac Jenet? You'd
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: make a great Rebecca.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Mister Garcia, Why is that rock moving across the stage?
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Moving across?
• 20:29
  Speaker 12: Uh?
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: Oh, where's Hugo?
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: I'd check under that rock if I were you, Hugo.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: It looks like Hugo and Jackson aren't taking mister Garcia's
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: drama class very seriously. But at least mister Garcia seems
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: to have made progress getting the campers to see how
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: amazing the story of Eliezar really is. Hattie's pottery craft
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: didn't go as planned. She's feeling well, you'll see, Pattie,
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: I brought you some raspberry bars.
• 21:06
  Speaker 16: How is the lemonade challenge going so far?
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Michelle? It was awful?
• 21:12
  Speaker 17: You mean the campers didn't like the idea of making
• 21:15
  Speaker 17: their own lemonade mug.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Not just some of the campers, all of the boys
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: and a few of the girls too.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: I don't understand.
• 21:23
  Speaker 16: I thought it was a brilliant idea.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: They didn't understand at all. I wanted them to learn
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to serve others, to make people feel welcome and care for,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to learn how to use the lemonade challenge, to get
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: to know people better, and to introduce them to Jesus.
• 21:40
  Speaker 16: They didn't understand any of it.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why I wanted James here. I thought maybe
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: he would have a more exciting way of describing at all.
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: But James didn't want to He had.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Other responsibilities as a sports director.
• 21:53
  Speaker 16: I get it.
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: What's funny.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Too bad James couldn't have shown up to do the
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: ropes course demonstration. That might have gotten attention.
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: Speaking of James, what about him? He's here, Hattie, I
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: had better be going now.
• 22:08
  Speaker 16: Enjoy the raspberry bars.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: They're fresh out of the oven.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Thanks Michelle, Hattie.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, you've been crying. What's wrong?
• 22:23
  Speaker 16: Everything?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Everything's wrong?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Want to talk about it?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I wanted was for you to be here this morning.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was just busy campers.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Might have been more excited about the lemonade challenge if
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: you'd explained it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not so sure.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I am, you're the cool guy. You do rock
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: climbing and building ropes courses, and I just teach them
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: how to use clay.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But but that doesn't mean they'll listen to me.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Serving others is. It's tough. Samurai warriors served.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Others samurais now that's in.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, the Samurai were more than warriors. Their job was
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: to serve their leader and protect and serve the people
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: around them.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: That's epic.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I read that the name Samurai means.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: To serve, just like Christians are called to be servants.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: That's why I wanted you here this morning. You could
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: have explained all that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: But you just explained it, and it's interesting.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Now what did you want to talk to
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: me about?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, you know how much I appreciated having
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Bible states together even though I was away at school.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Right, it wasn't quite the same as being in person,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: but at least modern technology gave us that option.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know we kind of talked about getting
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to know each other better.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: James, are you freaking up with me because you can't.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: We're not even dating.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no, I don't want to date you.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Well that was harsh.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: No, I ugh, that didn't sound right. I don't want
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to date you.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's received loud and clear.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I want to court you. You want to what I
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: want to court you? Look, hattie, I've done a lot
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: of things wrong in my life, but I want to
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: do this right.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: And that's why you don't want to date me.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, because I want something more than that. I know
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: courting sounds old.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Fashioned, Yeah it does.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: But dating today just sounds like it's all about fun.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: That's not what I'm talking about.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I think I want something more intentional.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: More intentional.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Well, this past year, the more time I spent with God,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the more I've realized that God does want us to
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: be careless with our relationship.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: So you want us to court?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, to prayerfully and purposely explore whether marriage is in
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: God's plans for us? So what do you think?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Well, James, Hole, I think you have yourself a deal.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I was very nervous. I mean you were sad and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: crying and oh no, you're.
• 25:15
  Speaker 16: Crying again this time they're happy tears.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Hattie certainly sounded happy, didn't she direct her Doug?
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: She sure did.
• 25:25
  Speaker 18: James obviously gave this a lot of thought, and I
• 25:28
  Speaker 18: agree with him. We shouldn't be careless with someone else's heart.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: No.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: Seeking God's will for us is especially important when it
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: comes to something huge like choosing our spouse. And Hattie
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: and James are in their late twenties.
• 25:42
  Speaker 18: They're at the right age to figure this all out.
• 25:44
  Speaker 18: It'll be interesting to see how their time at camp
• 25:46
  Speaker 18: together goes.
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: Do you think wedding mails are in their future?
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: I don't know, But what I do know is that
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: they're making the right decision to let God lead them.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: Well, that's always a good decision.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: Hope Patty's idea to have the kids learn about service
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: through the lemonade challenge turns out to be a good decision.
• 26:07
  Speaker 18: It didn't start off well though, but the idea is good.
• 26:11
  Speaker 18: Remember that verse Addison talked about.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: Oh right, Romans twelve thirteen.
• 26:16
  Speaker 18: That's the one supply the needs of God's people extend
• 26:19
  Speaker 18: hospitality to strangers.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Some versions, I think even say practice hospitality.
• 26:24
  Speaker 18: God wants us to lead lives focused on loving and
• 26:27
  Speaker 18: serving others.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: The drama production is based on a Bible story about
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: a man who did just that. Eliezar served Abraham faithfully,
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: didn't he.
• 26:37
  Speaker 18: Yes, he did, even when it wasn't easy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: So listeners, exercise your faith by asking God to show
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: you ways that you can serve others this.
• 26:47
  Speaker 18: Week, and we'll see you here next time.
