  I have a bonus episode for you today, and it is not my normal bonus episode.
• 0:04
  Usually, when I'm doing a bonus episode, it is a book review.
• 0:07
  But on Sunday, I was sitting in church listening to this sermon that was so.
• 0:12
  Descriptive of what I think of when I say, how are you doing?
• 0:18
  The pastor, Pastor Jason Lang, he goes through the whole you.
• 0:23
  If you didn't know this, I go by Health with Hashimoto's, but the formal business
• 0:27
  name of my business is the whole you.
• 0:30
  Because I see you as a whole person. You're not just a body.
• 0:34
  You're not just a mind. You are whole.
• 0:38
  And that is what this sermon is all about. He goes through the different aspects of the whole you.
• 0:44
  They do differ a little bit from mine, mine, our body, mind,
• 0:47
  spirit, diet, environment, but his are very similar and so, so good.
• 0:52
  So I hope that you enjoy this sermon. It is a sermon, not a podcast.
• 0:57
  So you will notice that there's some like pauses that are a little longer than
• 1:01
  I would do on a podcast. I did not go through and edit those out.
• 1:05
  I just left the sermon as it is.
• 1:08
  If you want to listen to the rest of the sermon series, it's starting here in
• 1:12
  September, 2026, and it'll go for the next couple of weeks.
• 1:17
  And I will have a link to the show or to the podcast down in the show notes.
• 1:22
  They do have a podcast where they replay all of the sermons,
• 1:26
  and you can also catch them live or replay on YouTube.
• 1:30
  I hope you enjoy this sermon, and I want to know, how are you doing?
• 1:34
  Come let us know in the school community.
• 1:36
  Yeah, I hope you get used to this question, how are you doing?
• 1:39
  Because I'm going to be asking you this for the next, I don't know how many weeks.
• 1:42
  Okay, no, like seriously, like this is our theme is how are you doing?
• 1:47
  You see, when I ask you, how are you doing? I'm actually asking you five questions.
• 1:52
  How are you doing physically? How are you doing mentally? How are you doing emotionally?
• 1:58
  How are you doing spiritually? And how are you doing relationally?
• 2:03
  How are you doing physically? Okay. Are you eating?
• 2:08
  That's good. Are you eating, you know, the right amount? Also a good question.
• 2:13
  You know, like, are you sleeping?
• 2:16
  Like, you know, you're resting, you know, and stuff like, are you,
• 2:19
  are you moving, you know, active? Are you fighting off a little something,
• 2:23
  something? I don't know what happened to me last night.
• 2:26
  I was just hanging out, sitting down and all of a sudden had a little asthma
• 2:30
  attack. And I'm like, Like, well, that came out of nowhere, you know,
• 2:32
  but hey, these things happen. So, you know, but God cares about how you are doing physically.
• 2:39
  How are you doing mentally? Are you thinking?
• 2:45
  There's plenty of years in my life where I'm like, I was just plain brain dead.
• 2:48
  No, like seriously, like there was little thought happening up here.
• 2:52
  But like, how are you doing mentally? Are you thinking healthy thoughts about yourself?
• 2:58
  Are you thinking godly thoughts? Are you thinking, you know,
• 3:01
  healthy thoughts about other people in your life, whether they be with you here
• 3:07
  or, you know, or maybe they're scattered around or maybe you work with them
• 3:10
  or they're on the same team as you?
• 3:11
  Are you thinking healthy, you know, and kind thoughts about others?
• 3:16
  How are you doing emotionally? Are your emotions leaking?
• 3:23
  I don't know what happened. Well, I do know what happened. Last week,
• 3:25
  man, I'll tell you what, my emotions were just like super close to the surface.
• 3:30
  Are your emotions leaking? Are you, or are you stuffing your emotions?
• 3:33
  You a stuffer, you know, like, Nope, not going to feel that.
• 3:37
  Or are you an emotional exploder? You know, like you're like a volcano.
• 3:42
  You're like, I've been quiet for a long time, but you know, like emotions are
• 3:45
  just going to like explode out of you.
• 3:49
  Can you use feeling words to explain how you are feeling.
• 3:55
  Fine is not an emotion. So when I ask you how you're doing emotionally,
• 4:00
  if you say fine, you need to dig a little deeper.
• 4:05
  And if you did answer fine, we can talk more after.
• 4:10
  How are you doing spiritually? If you are a believer in Jesus Christ,
• 4:17
  if you believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, that he has forgiven
• 4:21
  you, then you are in Christ.
• 4:23
  And as you are in Christ, God the Father looks at you and he sees that your
• 4:30
  relationship with him of how you're doing spiritually is perfect.
• 4:36
  Did you know that? Yeah. Like when I ask like, hey, how are you doing spiritually?
• 4:42
  If you're a believer in Jesus Christ, according to God, you're doing fantastic,
• 4:46
  like absolutely perfect because God sees us in Christ, just wrapped up in Christ.
• 4:54
  And he's like, I don't see what the problem is. Everything's going great.
• 4:58
  On the flip side we don't always see ourselves the way christ sees us,
• 5:02
  and so when i ask you how are you doing spiritually there's one aspect that
• 5:06
  says hey are you believing and trusting in christ and how god sees you the the
• 5:10
  other side to that of how are you doing spiritually is like are you,
• 5:15
  are you living in christ are you praying are you listening the best the easiest
• 5:23
  way best way most accurate way for us to listen is just to open up God's Word and take a look.
• 5:29
  So are you reading God's Word?
• 5:32
  Are you worshiping? Or are you just attending?
• 5:38
  Are you giving with a joyful heart or begrudgingly?
• 5:43
  Are you serving because you have to or because you're like, hey,
• 5:46
  I get to serve the Lord. I mean, there's going to be a ton of kids here on Wednesday,
• 5:52
  you know, we get to serve.
• 5:55
  And these questions can be asked and answered differently at different times.
• 6:02
  But how are you doing spiritually?
• 6:04
  How are you doing relationally? Our first relationship is with the Lord, right?
• 6:09
  And then we've got a whole bunch of other relationships. I got relationships with you guys.
• 6:13
  I got relationships with those people, you know, out there, you know.
• 6:16
  And then, you know, we got relationships with everybody who is still at the
• 6:20
  cabin and worshiping with us on our online campus. Got relationships with some
• 6:24
  of you, you know, know you.
• 6:25
  It was so funny. I met somebody who had been worshiping with us on the online
• 6:29
  campus for months and they came to worship in person for the first time.
• 6:32
  And they're like, this is just super weird because I feel like I know you really
• 6:36
  well and you don't recognize me.
• 6:40
  And then he goes on and say, your hair's really changed. And I'm like,
• 6:43
  well, yeah, it was so funny, you know, but how are you doing relationally?
• 6:51
  Are you connecting with God? Are you feeling close to God?
• 6:55
  How are your relationships with each other? Is there anger? Is there strife? Is there kindness?
• 7:03
  Is there openness?
• 7:05
  There's a guy named Dave Ferguson who does a, you know, Pastor Nick and I and
• 7:10
  Becca and a few other people, Lauren, have gone to the Exponential Conference for a bunch of years.
• 7:15
  And this year, what he's doing is he's taking most of these questions.
• 7:21
  And every morning when he gets up and spends a little time with the Lord,
• 7:25
  he draws them up at the top of his little journal, and he just kind of does
• 7:31
  a little self-diagnosis.
• 7:33
  Where am I today? How am I doing?
• 7:37
  And how is the Lord going to meet me there?
• 7:41
  He says it's been incredibly helpful to like start the day and just with this
• 7:45
  simple question of, hey, how am I doing in these different areas?
• 7:48
  Because then all of a sudden he's like, I make some adjustments to my schedule based on how I'm doing.
• 7:57
  And so for the next few weeks, we're going to take one week to,
• 8:00
  you know, to dive deeply into, you know, each of these areas.
• 8:03
  Today just gets to be kind of the overview and the, you know,
• 8:08
  the kind of like the snake peek into what we're going to be doing for the rest of our time.
• 8:12
  That's a few weeks. So how are you doing?
• 8:16
  It's tough sometimes to answer that honestly.
• 8:20
  I, different church, so you don't have to guess who it is.
• 8:23
  I didn't change the name. So Lynn, if you're listening, yes,
• 8:26
  it's about you and you know it.
• 8:29
  Years ago, I were just after worship. I'm standing out there,
• 8:33
  you know, shaking people's hands. Hey, how you doing? How you doing? How you doing?
• 8:36
  You know, and this, that, and the other thing. And Lynn walks out,
• 8:39
  is walking out the door and she beats me to it. And she says, how are you doing?
• 8:46
  And she had paused. And so I doubled down on the pause.
• 8:51
  People get a little uncomfortable when they ask how you're doing and you pause
• 8:54
  for a little extra time because then you, then they know, oh,
• 8:57
  this wasn't just a greeting. Like, hi, how, you know, it's like,
• 9:00
  oh, he's going to really answer.
• 9:02
  And so, so Lynn said, Hey, how are you doing? And I gave it,
• 9:06
  gave a little extra pause and I said, Hey,
• 9:09
  honestly, pretty crappy. Then she looked at me. She's like, that is so good to hear.
• 9:16
  And I'm like, thanks a lot, Lynn.
• 9:20
  You know, like, did you hear my answer? She's like, no, it's just like,
• 9:24
  honestly, it really is good to hear that you have crappy days.
• 9:28
  Like you're doing great so often that, you know, but like, it's like,
• 9:33
  thank you for being real and honest.
• 9:36
  You know like I appreciate that you know like you know when she's like I'm sorry
• 9:41
  you're not doing that you're doing crappy today but it really,
• 9:47
  it makes the when you're when you say you're doing great it makes that seem
• 9:51
  more real too when I get to hear that some days you're doing crappy,
• 9:57
  And so my hope is that as we walk through the How Are You Doing series,
• 10:05
  that we will take some time to be honest.
• 10:11
  Now, we don't have a choice on the honesty part because the Lord tells us not to lie, okay?
• 10:19
  We do have a choice on how open to be.
• 10:23
  You do not have to overshare with everyone when they ask you how you're doing,
• 10:27
  okay? You don't. You don't have to.
• 10:31
  Get into the weeds or something like that. But I do want to encourage us to be honest.
• 10:38
  First, I want you to be honest with God, because God really is interested in
• 10:43
  knowing how are you doing.
• 10:46
  Next, I'd really love for you to be honest with yourself.
• 10:50
  Try doing a little self-diagnostic for the next six weeks and ask, how are you doing?
• 10:59
  And then my hope is that you would be honest with someone.
• 11:04
  I don't know who that someone is. Hey, if you're married, really hope it's your spouse.
• 11:08
  If you're not married, please don't go get a spouse just to answer the question.
• 11:12
  Okay. You don't have to, that's not required.
• 11:14
  But like, you know, like if you're, if you're not married, please find someone,
• 11:19
  just to be gut level honest with and just start asking, how are you doing?
• 11:27
  And maybe maybe you've got a friend and you might i'm not sure where they're
• 11:31
  at with jesus but maybe you you've got a friend that needs to hear.
• 11:37
  How are you doing or maybe you've got a friend that needs you to ask them and
• 11:43
  then in that open up an opportunity just to invite them out as you ask hey how are you doing.
• 11:51
  Because believe it or not, like God cares about you.
• 11:56
  And yeah, and he cares about how you're doing.
• 12:00
  We have this bad tendency to just kind of like compartmentalize God over into
• 12:05
  like all he cares about is my spiritual life.
• 12:08
  No, no, no, no, no. God cares about you, the whole you, all of you,
• 12:16
  a holistic being, your whole person.
• 12:19
  He cares about you so much that that's kind of like his number one priority
• 12:26
  in his relationship with us is that we be in a loving relationship with him.
• 12:35
  Moses, you know, got to give God's people, you know, his law.
• 12:39
  Things got a little messy, okay, because it doesn't take real long for people
• 12:44
  to start breaking laws and things like that and not listening to God.
• 12:48
  And so, you know, God told his people then, you know, to take a lap.
• 12:53
  That was like, I don't know, that lap took 40 years. It was a really long lap.
• 12:58
  It was a really long lap. They got to take a lap through the wilderness and
• 13:01
  just kind of wander around taking a lap until they got back and everybody was ready.
• 13:05
  God cared for them the entire time, gave them all the food that they needed.
• 13:09
  Their clothes never wore out. Their sandals never wore out.
• 13:13
  And as they're just getting ready to go into the promised land,
• 13:17
  Moses gives them the law again.
• 13:20
  It's like Moses was saying, all right, guys, I'm not going with you into the promised land.
• 13:27
  So we're going to do this whole law thing again. Pay attention this time.
• 13:32
  We don't want to like take another lap. Okay.
• 13:35
  And then he says this. So if you have your Bibles with you, turn with me to
• 13:39
  Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy chapter six.
• 13:44
  If not, don't worry. It's going to be right up here. Deuteronomy chapter six,
• 13:48
  starting in verse four, reading in Jesus name, because it's God's word, not mine.
• 13:54
  Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
• 13:58
  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind.
• 14:04
  And these words that I have commanded you today shall be on your heart.
• 14:09
  You shall teach them diligently to your children. You should talk with them, you know,
• 14:14
  when you sit in your house and when you walk on by the way and when you lie
• 14:17
  down and when you rise, you shall bind them as like a sign on your hands,
• 14:22
  and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
• 14:25
  You shall write them on the doorpost of your house and on your gates,
• 14:29
  here in the reading of God's word.
• 14:32
  This is traditionally called the Shema, okay, which just means, like, basically here.
• 14:38
  And so, you know, when Jesus was asked by somebody, like, what's the greatest commandment?
• 14:45
  He quotes this, love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind,
• 14:51
  with all your soul, with all your strength, with every aspect of your being.
• 14:55
  What God wants is to be in a loving relationship with you.
• 15:00
  He cares about every single part of your being, all of your strength.
• 15:06
  Yes, God cares about us physically. He loves us.
• 15:11
  He loves our bodies. He's the one who made them.
• 15:18
  With all of your mind, with all of your thoughts, God wants us to be thinking
• 15:23
  God thoughts, not just me thoughts.
• 15:26
  He cares about what we think.
• 15:29
  Isn't that cool? Like the God of the universe cares about what we think.
• 15:36
  I have conversations with people that I'm not entirely sure they care of what I think.
• 15:42
  God cares about what we think. every all of our soul god cares about our our
• 15:48
  spiritual condition and and his relationship with us god cares about every aspect of our person,
• 15:56
  and god cares about our family he doesn't want us to just keep this to himself he's like look
• 16:02
  take these commandments this this word of mine and and teach it to your children
• 16:06
  don't just kind of like ah here you go no like teach it diligently,
• 16:10
  like really go for it, really teach it.
• 16:12
  And it's not just supposed to
• 16:14
  be like a little bit on like for an hour on Sunday or something like that.
• 16:17
  It's like all the time. Like when you're sitting down at the house,
• 16:21
  you're in the house and you're sitting down and you're talking about God stuff
• 16:24
  or you're, you know, hopping into the car and you're heading somewhere and you're going on the way.
• 16:28
  Hey, think about and talk about some God stuff.
• 16:31
  And as you're, as you're, as you're getting ready to leave in the,
• 16:33
  in the, in the morning, think about some God stuff and write that on your heart
• 16:38
  because the only one who can write God's word on your heart is God.
• 16:43
  And so as God is writing his word on your heart and as he is communicating to
• 16:46
  you that he does care about you, that he loves you deeply.
• 16:51
  It's amazing because he knows you and he still loves you. That's the amazing part for me.
• 16:59
  Like, like God knows me, not like just like that's, you know,
• 17:03
  that's Jay, but like knows me so well, you know, that he knows the number of hairs on my head.
• 17:10
  I'm not sure why he knows that, but he just knows. I don't think he has to like count every day.
• 17:15
  I don't think he's making any comments about the length of my hair or any of those sorts of things.
• 17:19
  I think that what he's saying, you know, like, but that God knows us so intimately
• 17:24
  well that he knows how many hairs are on your head.
• 17:27
  And if he knows that, what else does he know about you?
• 17:34
  Yeah, he knows your thoughts, even before you think it.
• 17:40
  He knows what you love. He knows your desires. He knows your heart.
• 17:46
  He knows all of your actions.
• 17:49
  Like Philip underneath the fig tree. Got no idea what Philip was doing, but Jesus knew. Saw you.
• 17:56
  Jesus knows you. Everything about you. And he loves you.
• 18:01
  That's kind of scary for me, to be honest.
• 18:05
  Nobody knows me like that except for God. Nobody knows you except God like that.
• 18:12
  And he still absolutely loves you, values you, just like values you.
• 18:21
  So as I was thinking about this message, I read through the book of Mark.
• 18:29
  And then I did some fancy searching, both in English and Greek and stuff like
• 18:33
  that, because I was trying to come up, like, who did Jesus ask, how are you doing?
• 18:39
  I don't know if it just, like, wasn't a thing back then or what,
• 18:42
  but did you know that Jesus never asked somebody, how are you doing?
• 18:48
  And yet, he always seems to know.
• 18:53
  He never had to ask because he already knows that well.
• 18:57
  Like, God knows, Jesus knows. And so Jesus never had to ask anybody,
• 19:01
  hey, how you doing? Because he knew.
• 19:04
  He asked a lot of other great questions. One of which is, what can I do for you?
• 19:12
  Check this out in Matthew 10. If you have a Bible, so you can turn with me.
• 19:16
  It's Matthew 10, starting in verse 46.
• 19:20
  And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving, Jesus was leaving Jericho with
• 19:26
  his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar,
• 19:31
  the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.
• 19:35
  When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say,
• 19:40
  Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
• 19:44
  Many rebuked him, telling him to be silent.
• 19:48
  But he cried out all the more, son of David, have mercy on me,
• 19:52
  son of David, have mercy on me.
• 19:55
  Jesus stopped.
• 19:58
  Said, call him. And they called the blind man saying, take heart, get up.
• 20:02
  He's calling you and throwing off his cloak.
• 20:06
  He sprang up and came to Jesus. And Jesus said to him, what do you want me to do for you?
• 20:13
  What do you want me to do for you? The blind man said to him,
• 20:17
  Rabbi, let me recover my sight.
• 20:21
  And Jesus said to him, go your way your faith has made you well and immediately
• 20:28
  he recovered his sight and followed him on the way whoa that is so awesome,
• 20:35
  why did jesus ask him that jesus knew he knows him.
• 20:40
  I mean in fact like now everybody knows i mean like he's not just a blind beggar
• 20:44
  on the side of the street but they like named him and his family you know like
• 20:48
  so that after this this gospel is written,
• 20:52
  people could go up and if they bumped into a dude named Bartimaeus,
• 20:55
  I'm like, hey, are you the guy? And he's like, what do you mean?
• 20:57
  Are you the Bartimaeus, you know, son of Timaeus who was sitting by the side
• 21:01
  of the road blind and then Jesus like changed your life? And he's like, yeah, I'm the guy.
• 21:05
  And then so when they drop names like that, it is for a purpose so that they
• 21:10
  could give testimony to who Jesus is and what Jesus has done in their life.
• 21:14
  A just life-changing encounter because Bartimaeus had a life-changing encounter
• 21:21
  with Jesus Christ right there on the side of the road.
• 21:26
  He didn't ask, how are you doing? He asked, what do you want me to do for you?
• 21:32
  So I get to ask you, how are you doing? Because I don't know you like God knows
• 21:36
  you. Jesus knows the answer. I don't.
• 21:40
  And so as a church, we're going to ask each other, how are you doing?
• 21:45
  And through this process, I'm wondering if you want to hear Jesus ask you,
• 21:50
  what do you want me to do for you?
• 21:53
  Because Jesus is awesome.
• 21:56
  If you read through the Gospels, you'll never see not one person who cries out
• 22:01
  for mercy gets rejected by Jesus.
• 22:04
  Not one. What do you want me to do for you?
• 22:07
  Have mercy. And in the process, a life-changing encounter with Jesus.
• 22:13
  And it is, it's completely life-changing because Jesus sees his faith,
• 22:18
  then heals his eyes, and then he just starts walking and following Jesus on
• 22:23
  the way, completely life-changing.
• 22:28
  My hope, my prayer for you is a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.
• 22:34
  Are we willing to be honest and open with each other when we ask, how are you doing?
• 22:39
  Are we willing to be open and honest with the Lord when He says,
• 22:43
  hey, what do you want me to do for you?
• 22:46
  Because Jesus wants a loving relationship with every aspect of our being.
• 22:53
  Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, relationally,
• 22:59
  Jesus wants that loving relationship with every aspect of who you are.
• 23:06
  And He wants you to know that you are loved, that you are valued,
• 23:10
  and you are forgiven, all because of what Jesus Christ has done for you. So,
• 23:17
  are you doing? Over the next couple of weeks, there's going to be a, it's September.
• 23:23
  So September, if you've been with us for a little while, means it's name tag month.
• 23:27
  Introverts, relax. It's going to be okay. Okay.
• 23:31
  Name tags this month are going to happen. We're also going to have some more of the surveys.
• 23:35
  If you're with us on Giant Days Worship, we had these surveys that just kind
• 23:41
  of go through these, you know, these five things and just ask you kind of between
• 23:46
  struggling and thriving? Where are you at?
• 23:49
  We took the survey at Giant Days of Worship, and then we took the survey at Checkout New Prague.
• 23:54
  And if you look at the answers for both communities, it's amazing to me how
• 23:59
  great everyone is doing.
• 24:02
  Like, wow, all of the answers are like way skewed to the positive.
• 24:09
  We're going to share with you some of the results of the data behind the survey. We really are.
• 24:14
  And so to me, it's like, I'm looking at these survey answers and I'm like, this is amazing.
• 24:21
  The people of Lesore are doing awesome. The people of Henderson are doing just fantastic.
• 24:28
  The people of New Prague are doing unbelievable.
• 24:31
  I was doing Checkout New Prague with my friend Ben.
• 24:35
  And as Ben is kind of like talking through this with a few people and,
• 24:39
  you know, watching them answer and this, that, and the other thing and just
• 24:41
  saying, hey, is there anything you want to talk about?
• 24:43
  But afterwards, you know, Ben and I got to talking and he's like,
• 24:47
  you know, I wonder what it would be like if people were answering this survey
• 24:52
  at home, like without us standing there.
• 24:56
  You're not like standing across the table, you know, from somebody else.
• 25:01
  But what would it be like if they answered at home?
• 25:04
  What would it be like if they answered it like in the morning versus like at night?
• 25:10
  And he just kind of pondered that question. And really what Ben is asking is.
• 25:17
  The real answer. How are you really doing? We don't always want to give the real answer.
• 25:25
  So I'm just going to ask you over the next few weeks, try to be real.
• 25:31
  Real with yourself, real with somebody that you trust, and most of all,
• 25:37
  real with the Lord, because He loves you, and He cares about how you're doing,
• 25:44
  and He cares about every aspect of your person,
• 25:47
  every aspect of your person.
• 25:50
  How are you doing? And how can God meet you there in that place?
• 25:57
  Today, He's meeting us there and asking, what can I do for you?
• 26:03
  And maybe today is an opportunity for you to just kind of write a note in your phone.
• 26:08
  This is how I'm doing. Lord, if you could do anything for me, fill in the blank.
• 26:14
  Or maybe you wait until you get home and you write it down in your journal or
• 26:20
  on the back of the bulletin or something.
• 26:23
  How am I doing? And really, deep down, what do I want God to do for me?
• 26:29
  As we cry out to Him in mercy, just give us mercy, Lord.
• 26:33
  And that's exactly what He does in communion. So we're going to pray,
• 26:38
  and then we're going to receive communion and the forgiveness that comes with it. Amen.
• 26:44
  Heavenly Father, we cry out to you.
• 26:48
  You are good. You are awesome. You are high and lifted up. You are seated on
• 26:54
  a throne, not made with human hands.
• 26:56
  You are continually worshiped by angelic beings shouting your praises.
• 27:02
  And it's loud.
• 27:04
  There's thunder, and there's lightning, and some crazy looking light show that
• 27:10
  I don't fully understand.
• 27:12
  And one day, all people will say, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.
• 27:20
  And every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
• 27:25
  You are our Lord. Lord, I pray that you would write it on our hearts,
• 27:30
  that you would write it on our minds, that you'd write it on our tongues and on our bodies,
• 27:36
  that you are Lord, that you would put your word in us,
• 27:41
  that it would season and influence how we think and how we feel and what we say and what we do.
• 27:49
  That as we go on the way and as we sit in the house and when we lie down and
• 27:53
  when we get up and as we're talking to our kids and as we're talking to our
• 27:57
  spouses and as we're talking to our friends, that you would put your word in us.
• 28:03
  Thank you for loving us, for caring about every aspect of our being.
• 28:09
  We love you.
• 28:11
  Thank you for loving us. And Lord Jesus, we just can't thank you enough because,
• 28:16
  it's all because of you and what you've done for us. It's in your name we pray.
• 28:21
  Lord Jesus, our Savior. Amen.
