This is Pastor Jeremy on the Youth.
0:04
Winter retreat, and I'm accompanied by John, just John
0:13
not Johnny, he's so mature now, he's grown.
0:16
See what happens on when to retreat.
0:19
Anyway, we just wanted to talk a little bit about our experiences
0:23
and see if the boys have any questions about anything because
0:26
obviously as everyone that listens to the podcast knows
0:29
Jerry. Remis knows everything right,
0:31
boys. Well, we try anyway, clay, what
0:36
is your experience been like at this winter retreat?
0:39
You know, coming into the camp. I didn't really know what to
0:41
expect at all, and I wasn't even sure about coming, but I'm
0:45
really pleased with what I got out of it.
0:48
Definitely through the community and how supportive everyone was
0:51
no matter. Like if you knew someone or not,
0:53
just how friendly people aren't how, how much they care for you,
0:58
and what your story. It's just it's a really good
1:02
feeling to have everyone there. I'd say mostly the same as clay
1:06
but like there's a lot of like really cool people here and so
1:10
the fellowship is like really different and like regardless of
1:14
who you know and who you don't know, there's always someone
1:17
there to help you and get you through this stuff that you need
1:20
to get through. Yeah that's the main point of
1:22
this trip and I'm surprised I think in total there's like 300
1:26
people at this Camp right now 310.
1:29
Jeans, which is crazy but now it's been really awesome.
1:33
Been Benji boy. How about you what you got?
1:37
So I feel like I got a lot closer to my friends and just
1:41
learned a lot about God and like my faith on the strip.
1:46
I got to know some people in my group and the small groups that
1:50
we got to go to, I just really enjoyed it.
1:53
A lot better than I expected. Nice, try to be quieter next
1:56
time. Is that actually loud?
2:00
No, no Benjamin. Anyway, the last but not least
2:04
our very own John Dixie. Yeah, it felt like I got to,
2:11
like, get closer to a lot of people and just get closer to
2:17
God and yeah, it was just a really good experience.
2:23
Well, that's great. And so, what do you think, if
2:26
anything? This trip will change things for
2:31
when we were turned back to like real life normal schedule.
2:35
Stuff. There were a few people in this
2:37
youth group that like I hadn't really talked to you before, but
2:39
now I really enjoy like their presents and talking to them and
2:43
just like make more friends, I guess that's great, anybody
2:47
else? Yeah, the time I spent here was
2:50
definitely time of reflection on my life back at home and you
2:54
know, how different was and being so close to God, maybe
2:58
Nice. You know what a difference is
3:00
made on my life and just how I can live my life to the fullest
3:04
serving God JoJo siwa during my dad thumb breakout session.
3:10
He told us that he was telling us about that.
3:13
We should find like a time of the week to just like relax and
3:16
spend time with them do things that we enjoyed.
3:18
So we can grow closer to him. So I was like, I'm probably
3:22
going to start taking like Sunday's like after you've group
3:24
or maybe before like so I can spend time with God and Like
3:28
move into this form and to think he was keeping that trade secret
3:32
from you this whole time. Yeah.
3:36
Yeah. Well, do you guys have any
3:37
questions that maybe have popped up in your head through?
3:40
All the talks and all the assemblies and stuff?
3:42
We've been to or your college talks.
3:44
Should you have any questions about anything?
3:46
Yeah, I have one. Go for it.
3:48
Why what? So during one of the assemblies,
3:57
the speaker opened up with saying, you know, how annoying
4:01
it is when little kids just ask, why to every single thing you
4:04
say? And then you answer their
4:06
question and they say why again and it really backfired on her
4:11
because then the entire crowd just kept asking her, why?
4:15
After every single thing she said?
4:18
Yeah, that was not the, she should have thought that ahead
4:23
and here. Other questions.
4:25
Jeremy. I have a question for you.
4:27
What was your favorite part of this week and weekend?
4:32
And I would say that my favorite part of this weekend, I don't
4:38
know. Just getting to spend time with
4:40
everybody was really nice and know, it's just really good that
4:43
we had some really great conversations last night because
4:46
it midwinter Advanced Saturday night is usually known as like a
4:50
cry Fest where everyone like just a very emotional.
4:53
National evening and so just it opened up the opportunity for a
4:58
lot of really good conversations for some some really overdo
5:02
conversations and it was just really fruitful and healing for
5:05
a bunch of people and it was just beautiful to witness and I
5:08
really liked that one girl's testimony from last night that
5:12
really like hit home with a lot of people and I thought was
5:15
really powerful and so, yeah. How about you guys favorite part
5:19
of the weekend? Shopping pennies between cracks
5:24
with Josiah Johnny. How about you?
5:29
Um I like the ziplining and obstacle course.
5:38
Oh I got to be Josiah in chess and he'll just blame that he
5:41
didn't have the right pieces in the right spots but that's kind
5:44
of how chess works. Yeah.
5:45

5:47
