WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.800
All right. Welcome to tonight's last year, single, single spotlight. We are going to

2
00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:12.280
be doing this at least once a month and we're having fun doing it. And you guys don't forget,

3
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:16.800
it's not just about who's here. Lots of people are going to be rolling on. We're up to 70,

4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.960
72. The numbers keep climbing, but it's also about who watches and replay.

5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.200
All right. So to all you replay watchers, make sure that you don't sleep on these singles

6
00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:31.880
that we're spotlighting tonight. If you want to meet them, we're going to tell you how

7
00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:38.280
you just have to watch until the end. Okay. All right, guys, this is super fun. I just

8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:43.560
was talking today in text message to one of my guys. He was one of the first guys in this

9
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:48.760
program when I first opened the doors for guys to come in and he is married. In fact,

10
00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:56.560
let me just read this. Let me read what he said to me. He said in less than one year,

11
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:02.040
I went from single to married to father. I'm also going through ordination at the same

12
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:10.280
time, such a shift this last year has been incredible, right? Just one day he woke up

13
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:16.440
just a single Pringle ready to mingle. And then he went from single to married to baby

14
00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:22.920
time in a year in one year. You're like, man, they didn't date for very long. No, they did

15
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:29.080
not, but they knew each other in community for a while. I never thought of her like that

16
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:36.200
before started to pray about it as the activation of this community and this anointing started

17
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.040
to get on him. That's what I like to say, started to say, Hmm, maybe there's something

18
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.800
there that wasn't there before, you know, beauty and the beast, and then prayed about

19
00:01:45.800 --> 00:01:52.280
it and they got married very, very quickly. And now they had a baby already and they are

20
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:59.160
going into ministry together. Super exciting. Lots of doors opening, lots of doors. Y'all,

21
00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:07.960
the super bowl is over. It's done. It's done. Um, so I just want to let you guys know that

22
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:11.520
I was counting the men. So I just want to just encourage all the guys here because the

23
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:16.960
ladies in my program, I show up in their group a lot and I post all kinds of success stories

24
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.720
of women in this program. And just so you know, ladies, some of those pictures are actually

25
00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.080
of men in this program that have had success as well, and not with one of our ladies. Okay.

26
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.840
Just success because of the anointing and the grace on this program to help people step

27
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.560
into their married season. And I'm going to start posting in the men's group too. I asked

28
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:40.000
them, I said, Hey, would pictures of success stories in the men's group with that, would

29
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.760
that encourage you if I posted guys that have had success and they said yes. And so we have

30
00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:50.640
all kinds of guys. And I was thinking about the guys that have had success in this program

31
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:56.000
and what they were like when they came in. I was thinking about Nathan who just invited me

32
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.920
to his wedding and how he's about five, four, and just really didn't think that he was ever

33
00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:06.800
going to meet anybody. You know, you know, you ladies, okay. You are, you're height prejudiced.

34
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.760
And you know that you are, even those of you that are four 11, you're four foot 11. You're

35
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:19.360
not even five feet tall. You didn't even get past five feet tall. You are fun sized.

36
00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:24.560
You are a little tiny woman. And you're like, give me a six foot or get out of here, girl.

37
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:32.400
But he was dealing with that. He was dealing with that. And he had never had a girlfriend.

38
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.560
No one had ever given him a chance. And he was such a great guy. Such an amazing guy. Still

39
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.520
a great guy. Cause he's still alive. And guess what? He came in here. He did his heart work.

40
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:46.880
A lot of times, you know, remember, I always say we're stuck on the inside and not the outside,

41
00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:52.080
but a lot of times we are stuck in other people's perceptions of us. We have started believing what

42
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:57.280
other people think about us. Okay. Other, other people have broken ideas of what a man should be

43
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:02.400
like, what a woman should be like, look like, and we allow them to project those ideas onto us.

44
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:07.200
And then we adopt those ideas as our own. Don't we? And those become belief systems.

45
00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.800
Those become all kinds of blockages. Can I tell you something? Nathan didn't go and get stretched.

46
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.040
He's not now currently six feet tall. He didn't go on the stretching back. He didn't put lifts

47
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:22.640
in his shoes so that he could be at least five, five and a half. He didn't do any of that.

48
00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:29.840
He just showed up as his best self as who he is. And he is marrying a snack. She is adorable.

49
00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:34.160
She's about two inches shorter than him. So probably about five, two, and she's the cutest

50
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.800
thing. And they're getting married and I got invited to their wedding. I can't attend you

51
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.880
guys. Please don't get offended. We're doing our supernatural Saturday this week on offense.

52
00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:49.440
So please show up. That is going to be a game changer for so many of us. I'm going to include

53
00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:54.720
myself because offense, it can creep in when you don't even realize it. And it can get you really

54
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.680
stuck. If you let that in, you can get really stuck. It's like,

55
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.320
Offense is a fence, right?

56
00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:06.600
It's a barrier that keeps you out of the promises of God.

57
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.960
And so we'll be talking about that on Supernatural Saturday,

58
00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:11.240
give you a little plug for that.

59
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.840
If you're new to phase three, welcome.

60
00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:17.080
I'm glad that you're gonna be with us for this session.

61
00:05:17.080 --> 00:05:19.560
I was thinking about Andrew.

62
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.960
Andrew's another success story of this program.

63
00:05:21.960 --> 00:05:25.600
You guys, he is just, he's athletic,

64
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.680
lives in Southern California, tan, California boy,

65
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.960
just amazing in so many aspects.

66
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.720
And I would introduce him to people and he would come on

67
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.840
and he used to have lots of dating games and single meetups

68
00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:39.320
when this program first started.

69
00:05:39.320 --> 00:05:41.720
And he would meet people and then for some reason

70
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.960
it would never turn into anything more

71
00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:45.400
than a first introduction.

72
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.000
Now, the thing that Andrew had

73
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.360
that may cause someone to shy away is he had a glass eye.

74
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.160
He had a disease when he was younger.

75
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.480
He had, I think cancer actually in his eye

76
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.360
when he was a kid and it caused him to lose his eyes.

77
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.480
So he had one regular eye and he had one glass eye.

78
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.320
And I'm gonna tell you, until he told me that,

79
00:06:07.320 --> 00:06:09.200
I never noticed it.

80
00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:10.920
I never noticed it at all.

81
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.560
I mean, it just, he looked just like,

82
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.160
like how many of you guys know who Lisa Bevere is?

83
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.080
How long did it take you to figure out she had a glass eye?

84
00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:19.480
I mean, like forever, right?

85
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.000
You can't tell.

86
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.160
And so it wasn't a situation where it was like

87
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:24.840
something that was off-putting, it wasn't.

88
00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:29.400
He's a handsome man, successful, athletic, spiritual,

89
00:06:29.400 --> 00:06:31.800
all the things, but for whatever reason

90
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.480
that turned into a block.

91
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.480
And I don't know that if it was,

92
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.160
I don't know that it was a block with women.

93
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.360
I think it might've been a block in his own heart

94
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.120
where he just started believing

95
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.800
that that was something that was undesirable.

96
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.040
But let me tell you what,

97
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.960
he is engaged in getting married and she is beautiful,

98
00:06:49.960 --> 00:06:54.800
beautiful on the inside and on the outside, gorgeous girl.

99
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.440
They're so happy.

100
00:06:57.440 --> 00:06:59.240
You know, these are just some of the success stories.

101
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:00.720
You guys know that there are plenty of people

102
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.880
that have married from inside this community.

103
00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:04.040
Okay, Diana and Ralph,

104
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.080
for those of you that remember Diana and Ralph,

105
00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:11.080
Brett, gosh, her name just flew right out of my head

106
00:07:12.760 --> 00:07:14.600
and I know her so well.

107
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:15.440
What?

108
00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:16.280
No, no, no.

109
00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:19.040
Yeah, Brett and Maria, Brett and Maria, David's saying,

110
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.320
I actually match made them.

111
00:07:20.320 --> 00:07:21.800
They weren't quite in this community.

112
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.560
They were just like a matchmaking story.

113
00:07:25.320 --> 00:07:28.840
I mean, Gabby or some of them that, what in the world?

114
00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:29.920
Why can I not remember her name?

115
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.800
James and Leah are some people

116
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.760
that met within this community and got married.

117
00:07:34.760 --> 00:07:36.920
You guys probably don't remember Gabe and Gloria,

118
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:38.240
but they met within this community.

119
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.160
Annette and Art met within this community and got married.

120
00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:44.360
You guys help me.

121
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.360
Christensen, Brett, and what's her name?

122
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.800
I know her so well.

123
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:49.640
I can't believe I can't think of her name.

124
00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:52.000
Is it Phyllis?

125
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.160
Phyllis?

126
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.520
Nope, just put it in the chat.

127
00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:57.160
Nope, that's not the one.

128
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.520
Christy and Phillip, yes.

129
00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:01.320
Sherry, thank you so much.

130
00:08:01.320 --> 00:08:02.480
Sherry and Brett.

131
00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:07.520
Elizabeth and Christian, they also were match made by me,

132
00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:09.960
but Christian was part of this community.

133
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:12.520
Just all kinds.

134
00:08:12.520 --> 00:08:14.360
Danny and Rory, another one.

135
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.160
They were kind of match made as well,

136
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.880
but they were both in this community.

137
00:08:18.880 --> 00:08:21.680
Rory's another guy that was with us from the very beginning.

138
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.360
He came to me from a men's group that I had a speaking,

139
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.360
like a guest speaker kind of night at.

140
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.640
He came in and he just did so much hard work.

141
00:08:31.640 --> 00:08:33.120
Gentlemen, I just want to encourage you.

142
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.400
Rory, when he first came in,

143
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:37.320
he had really bad taste in women for sure.

144
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.760
He was always picking women,

145
00:08:39.760 --> 00:08:41.760
was dealing with some anxious attachment,

146
00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:46.200
always picking women that were just prone to rejecting.

147
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.360
They were going to reject one way or another

148
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.080
because they were more avoidant than anything else.

149
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.680
All kinds of success.

150
00:08:53.680 --> 00:08:55.160
I just say that at the beginning here

151
00:08:55.160 --> 00:08:56.560
because I really want to encourage your heart.

152
00:08:56.560 --> 00:08:57.680
If you've been feeling discouraged,

153
00:08:57.680 --> 00:08:58.640
go ahead and put your hand up.

154
00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:00.600
I want to see your hands.

155
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:01.960
If you've just been feeling discouraged,

156
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.360
not just about your love life, but just in general,

157
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.080
you just feel discouraged.

158
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.840
2025 has started out with a thud.

159
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.760
It started out with a thud, not with a bang.

160
00:09:10.760 --> 00:09:13.240
You're just like, eh, I don't know.

161
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.800
Not feeling that great about 2025 so far.

162
00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:19.200
I'm trying to figure out how this mouse works

163
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.800
because it's not working for some reason.

164
00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:23.920
It's not allowing me to click on anything.

165
00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:26.360
So we'll figure that out here in just a second.

166
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.000
Lots of hands.

167
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.920
So let's just pray a prayer of encouragement right now.

168
00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:34.480
And for those of you that feel like you might be struggling

169
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:38.800
with some judgment, some criticism, some offense,

170
00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:40.400
please make sure that you show up on Saturday

171
00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:42.840
for Supernatural Saturday, or you watch the replay.

172
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:43.760
I'm going to go ahead and pray over you.

173
00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:46.160
Father God, I just thank you for your sons and daughters.

174
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.080
I thank you that you have so many good things for us.

175
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:50.960
So many.

176
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.320
And if we've stopped believing that,

177
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.600
if we believe that all of our best days are behind us,

178
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.640
I pray that you would shift our focus,

179
00:09:56.640 --> 00:09:59.280
not just to the future, but to the cross.

180
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.900
so that we could have abundant life.

181
00:10:02.900 --> 00:10:05.540
John 10, 10 says that the thief comes to kill

182
00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:07.340
and to steal and to destroy,

183
00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:09.740
but Jesus has come that we might have life

184
00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:11.860
and that we might have it to overflowing.

185
00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:13.260
And so let us right now,

186
00:10:13.260 --> 00:10:16.820
let us partner back with the idea of overflowing life,

187
00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:18.820
life where we're not living on fumes,

188
00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:20.760
life where we're not always waiting

189
00:10:20.760 --> 00:10:21.980
for something good to happen,

190
00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:23.500
but we're living in gratitude

191
00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:26.320
and in the goodness that's right now, right here.

192
00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:28.340
And as we focus on gratitude,

193
00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:32.780
more and more things come to be thankful for

194
00:10:32.780 --> 00:10:34.200
and to be grateful for.

195
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.140
And we just declare it and we thank you for it

196
00:10:36.140 --> 00:10:38.140
in Jesus name, amen.

197
00:10:38.140 --> 00:10:39.260
All right.

198
00:10:39.260 --> 00:10:40.800
Okay, is my mouse fixed?

199
00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:41.920
It is.

200
00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:43.240
All right, you guys, we're gonna start off.

201
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.660
If you've never been to a single spotlight,

202
00:10:44.660 --> 00:10:47.300
we have 10 ladies and about eight men

203
00:10:47.300 --> 00:10:49.340
that are gonna be spotlighted tonight.

204
00:10:49.340 --> 00:10:50.580
They're not all part of the program.

205
00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:52.060
Some of them are private clients.

206
00:10:52.060 --> 00:10:53.340
And so if you don't recognize them,

207
00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:55.060
you're like, hey, I've never seen them before.

208
00:10:55.060 --> 00:10:55.980
That's okay.

209
00:10:56.640 --> 00:10:57.840
And if you wanna meet one of these people,

210
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.840
you're going to email us at admin at JackieDorman.com

211
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.560
and you're gonna put their name in the subject line, okay?

212
00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:09.040
And if they have a common name like David, okay,

213
00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:11.760
or Lisa, you know, something that

214
00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:13.720
there's more than one person being spotlighted,

215
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.880
make sure that you put their city and their state, okay?

216
00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:20.960
So you might say David, Sacramento, California,

217
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.400
because they're gonna introduce themselves.

218
00:11:22.400 --> 00:11:24.240
You're gonna know where they're from.

219
00:11:24.260 --> 00:11:26.100
Make sure you put that in the subject line

220
00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:29.340
so that we can put your request for an introduction

221
00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:30.460
in the right bucket, okay?

222
00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:32.100
We wanna make sure that we can do that.

223
00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:34.180
Now, that's all you have to do.

224
00:11:34.180 --> 00:11:37.740
Once you reach out to us and say,

225
00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:39.980
hey, I wanna meet so-and-so from tonight,

226
00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:41.980
you gotta tell us in the subject line

227
00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:43.740
who they are, where they're at.

228
00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:45.700
But then what I want you to do

229
00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:47.900
is I want you in the body of that email

230
00:11:47.900 --> 00:11:51.880
to give us a few pictures of yourself in a short bio.

231
00:11:51.880 --> 00:11:53.460
If you do not include that,

232
00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:56.920
then we will put your request for an introduction

233
00:11:56.920 --> 00:11:59.200
in the trash can, okay?

234
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.760
That's what will happen to it,

235
00:12:00.760 --> 00:12:02.960
because we're not gonna go looking for you, okay?

236
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.760
We're not gonna go searching for your Facebook page.

237
00:12:04.760 --> 00:12:06.320
We're not even gonna go over to Spirit Mate Match,

238
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.480
because a lot of you don't even have photos on there.

239
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.360
And so we want you to give us a bio and some pics.

240
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.000
Include your age.

241
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.140
Include your, you know, marital status.

242
00:12:16.140 --> 00:12:18.560
If you have children, include their names in that.

243
00:12:18.560 --> 00:12:20.760
We need to know all the information about you.

244
00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:23.200
Obviously, include your city and state where you live.

245
00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:25.120
Okay, and then tell us some fun things about yourself.

246
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.140
Tell us why you think you and that person

247
00:12:27.140 --> 00:12:28.780
would be a great introduction.

248
00:12:28.780 --> 00:12:30.980
That's important, okay?

249
00:12:30.980 --> 00:12:33.540
All right, and then you don't have to do anything more.

250
00:12:33.540 --> 00:12:35.420
Some people are like, well, am I gonna hear back?

251
00:12:35.420 --> 00:12:36.660
No, not everyone's gonna hear back,

252
00:12:36.660 --> 00:12:38.620
because you might not be a good match for that person.

253
00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:40.980
You might not have the criteria

254
00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:43.020
for that person's introduction.

255
00:12:43.020 --> 00:12:44.500
You might not fit it,

256
00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:46.420
meaning that they're not gonna relocate.

257
00:12:46.420 --> 00:12:47.820
They have a shared parenting agreement.

258
00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:48.940
You can't relocate either.

259
00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:50.140
You have kids.

260
00:12:50.140 --> 00:12:51.900
Maybe you're not in the right age bracket.

261
00:12:51.900 --> 00:12:54.200
Maybe that person has never been married before,

262
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:55.880
and one of their non-negotiables from heaven

263
00:12:55.880 --> 00:12:57.080
is that they just wanna be married

264
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.480
to someone who's never been married, too, all right?

265
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:01.560
Remember, we try to get rid of non-negotiables

266
00:13:01.560 --> 00:13:02.960
that are not from heaven,

267
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.240
but I'm not going to pry a non-negotiable

268
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.480
from someone's dead, lifeless hands

269
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.280
if they wanna hold onto it, okay?

270
00:13:10.280 --> 00:13:11.400
So no harm, no foul.

271
00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:12.920
There's plenty of more fish in the sea,

272
00:13:12.920 --> 00:13:16.000
and there's plenty more spotlights in last year's single,

273
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.440
and so please do not have FOMO if you do not hear back.

274
00:13:19.460 --> 00:13:22.100
If you do hear back, you will hear back via email,

275
00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:24.100
and we will set up a time,

276
00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:27.140
we'll set up a way for you to be introduced

277
00:13:27.140 --> 00:13:28.660
to that spotlight.

278
00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:29.900
Sound good, everyone?

279
00:13:31.140 --> 00:13:32.480
And you guys, when you get an introduction,

280
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.640
put your best foot forward.

281
00:13:34.640 --> 00:13:36.900
Please remember your coaching in here.

282
00:13:36.900 --> 00:13:39.060
Don't start out asking people who they voted for

283
00:13:39.060 --> 00:13:41.380
if they're vaccinated and all kinds of crazy stuff.

284
00:13:41.380 --> 00:13:45.180
Please do not embarrass me up in here, all right?

285
00:13:45.180 --> 00:13:46.620
Mind your manners.

286
00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:49.760
You know, you know,

287
00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:52.200
you're supposed to keep it light and fun

288
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:53.500
when you first meet someone.

289
00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:54.480
You're getting to know them.

290
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.320
You're not worried about any of that stuff.

291
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.400
All you're doing when you first meet someone

292
00:13:59.400 --> 00:14:00.600
is getting to know them,

293
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.920
seeing if there's any conversational chemistry, okay,

294
00:14:03.920 --> 00:14:05.600
that we don't wanna start right out of the gate

295
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.800
with things that could be offensive

296
00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:11.160
and things that could cause tension in the conversation.

297
00:14:11.160 --> 00:14:16.000
Let's just keep it light and fun, all right?

298
00:14:16.020 --> 00:14:17.700
You'll have plenty of time to find out

299
00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:20.860
everything about that person, their credit score,

300
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:25.860
all the stuff that you wanna know later, later, all right?

301
00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:27.380
Remember your coaching.

302
00:14:27.380 --> 00:14:28.860
Remember Dating 101.

303
00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:30.300
All of you came through phase two,

304
00:14:30.300 --> 00:14:32.920
especially for the private clients.

305
00:14:32.920 --> 00:14:34.340
Remember your coaching.

306
00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:36.820
All right, I'm ready to get started.

307
00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:37.820
I'm ready.

308
00:14:37.820 --> 00:14:41.340
Got, it's not a Rocky jersey, but it's a hoodie.

309
00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:43.100
I'm feeling athletic tonight.

310
00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:44.240
Let's go.

311
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:45.700
All right.

312
00:14:46.400 --> 00:14:47.720
Is anyone in here from Greenwich Village?

313
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.320
Anyone from that area of New York?

314
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:54.320
Raise your hand if you are from that area.

315
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.640
I'm gonna put all the hands down

316
00:14:56.640 --> 00:14:59.600
so I can see if someone raises their hand.

317
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:00.440
Raise your hand.

318
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.280
And if you are from this area originally, anybody, anybody, nobody.

319
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:07.680
Okay.

320
00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:09.400
All right.

321
00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:13.700
If you're in replay and you're from this area, send us an email.

322
00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:14.300
Okay.

323
00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:15.560
I have a word for you.

324
00:15:16.180 --> 00:15:16.560
All right.

325
00:15:16.560 --> 00:15:18.220
I have a word for you and I want to give it to you.

326
00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:20.100
So send it, send us an email.

327
00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:22.680
If you're watching and replay and you're from Greenwich village.

328
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:24.580
Originally you're born there.

329
00:15:24.620 --> 00:15:25.380
You're from there.

330
00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:25.940
All right.

331
00:15:26.560 --> 00:15:28.820
You live there for years.

332
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.500
All right.

333
00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.940
Let me, let me find out about that.

334
00:15:31.420 --> 00:15:31.900
Okay.

335
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.640
Ladies first, gentlemen, you will go next.

336
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.100
So ladies, you have about 120 seconds.

337
00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:38.940
This is what you're going to share.

338
00:15:38.940 --> 00:15:40.120
You're going to share your name.

339
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.380
You're going to share your age.

340
00:15:41.380 --> 00:15:43.400
You're going to share where you're from.

341
00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:45.520
You can tell us what your hometown is.

342
00:15:45.540 --> 00:15:47.300
You can also tell us where you currently live.

343
00:15:47.760 --> 00:15:49.700
You're going to share whether or not you have children in the

344
00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:50.960
home that you're still raising.

345
00:15:51.580 --> 00:15:51.920
Okay.

346
00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:53.980
And you're also going to share a fun fact about yourself.

347
00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:58.180
Anything you want, just make it interesting and fun.

348
00:15:58.180 --> 00:15:59.300
We all have fun things.

349
00:15:59.340 --> 00:16:02.320
And so let's go with number one.

350
00:16:02.340 --> 00:16:03.580
We're going to go with Rebecca.

351
00:16:04.780 --> 00:16:06.940
And hi, Rebecca.

352
00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:09.760
You look gorgeous.

353
00:16:09.760 --> 00:16:10.780
Tell us about you.

354
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.860
Of course I have to be first.

355
00:16:13.540 --> 00:16:14.180
Sorry.

356
00:16:14.380 --> 00:16:15.120
It's okay.

357
00:16:15.540 --> 00:16:15.820
Yes.

358
00:16:15.820 --> 00:16:17.620
So I'm, I'm Rebecca Onigaruwa.

359
00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:22.020
I am 35 years old and I live nearby Orlando, Florida.

360
00:16:22.820 --> 00:16:26.300
Um, I have never been married, have no children.

361
00:16:26.420 --> 00:16:32.740
And, um, a fascinating fact about myself is that, um, I do hold a, a, a master's

362
00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:37.820
degree in biblical counseling, um, and yeah, an effort to encourage women in the

363
00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:40.420
faith, I, I just created this service.

364
00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:44.460
Um, it's called serenity and grace counseling, and it focuses on bringing

365
00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:48.260
life transforming hope and peace, um, to women through, through Christ

366
00:16:48.260 --> 00:16:49.340
centered biblical counseling.

367
00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:52.100
So it's just wonderful, Rebecca.

368
00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:53.740
And you're so peaceful.

369
00:16:54.460 --> 00:16:57.980
I can feel the peace coming from you and you're so articulate and beautiful.

370
00:16:58.180 --> 00:17:00.380
Can you just say one more time where you currently live?

371
00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:04.540
I currently live in Orlando, Florida, Orlando.

372
00:17:04.780 --> 00:17:05.339
All right.

373
00:17:05.700 --> 00:17:06.900
Disney, you go to Disney?

374
00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:09.900
Um, not, not that much.

375
00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:12.180
Uh, yeah, just kind of randomly.

376
00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:14.060
I I'll go maybe like once a year.

377
00:17:14.540 --> 00:17:15.060
Okay.

378
00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:17.180
Well, it'd be a fun date to go to Disney.

379
00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:18.460
I think I love Disney.

380
00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:19.420
Disney's my favorite.

381
00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:20.339
Um, okay.

382
00:17:20.339 --> 00:17:23.660

So you guys, we have some ladies here tonight.

390
00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:45.160
All right.

391
00:17:46.260 --> 00:17:47.140
Tamika.

392
00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:48.220
Hi Tamika.

393
00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:49.820
Hello.

394
00:17:49.820 --> 00:17:50.740
Good evening.

395
00:17:50.780 --> 00:17:51.500
Good evening.

396
00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.100
You look so pretty.

397
00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:53.860
That smile is a lot.

398
00:17:53.860 --> 00:17:55.020
That's a gorgeous smile.

399
00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:56.380
Tell us about yourself.

400
00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:58.380
My name is Tamika Davis.

401
00:17:58.420 --> 00:18:00.260
I'm 52 years young.

402
00:18:00.540 --> 00:18:03.100
I currently live in Huntsville, Alabama.

403
00:18:03.380 --> 00:18:08.260
I have an adult son, so there's no children in the home and I'm a military brat.

404
00:18:08.260 --> 00:18:10.860
So I've moved around all over the world.

405
00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:12.460
I don't have a place that I call home.

406
00:18:13.060 --> 00:18:20.740
A fascinating fact about me is since 2017, I have traveled to the nearest

407
00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:25.940
city for March Madness to attend the games live that's the NCAA men's

408
00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:30.860
tournament games, all except for two years, 2020, when COVID happened and

409
00:18:30.860 --> 00:18:35.780
2019, when my alma mater, Auburn university went to Kansas, I had to

410
00:18:35.780 --> 00:18:36.940
go out there to see them play.

411
00:18:37.700 --> 00:18:38.740
Wow.

412
00:18:38.780 --> 00:18:39.300
I love it.

413
00:18:39.300 --> 00:18:40.100
I love basketball.

414
00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:43.380
I used to play basketball and went in school and I love that.

415
00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:43.820
I love that.

416
00:18:43.820 --> 00:18:44.540
You love that.

417
00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:47.540
Um, now you said that you, you don't live anywhere.

418
00:18:47.940 --> 00:18:50.940
No, I live in Huntsville, Alabama currently.

419
00:18:51.020 --> 00:18:53.740
Oh, so growing up, you were just, we're all over the place growing up.

420
00:18:53.740 --> 00:18:54.780
I was all over the place.

421
00:18:54.780 --> 00:18:55.780
I'm a military brat.

422
00:18:55.780 --> 00:18:57.060
So gotcha.

423
00:18:58.020 --> 00:18:58.540
Awesome.

424
00:18:58.580 --> 00:18:59.140
Okay.

425
00:18:59.420 --> 00:18:59.740
All right.

426
00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:01.860
You guys, Tamika, if you love basketball.

427
00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:02.500
All right.

428
00:19:02.820 --> 00:19:07.620
Um, and even if you don't Tamika, Alabama is what you want to put in

429
00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:09.780
the subject line of that spotlight.

430
00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:12.140
Tamika, thank you so much for joining us.

431
00:19:12.340 --> 00:19:13.460
Appreciate you.

432
00:19:13.860 --> 00:19:15.420
All right, you guys, these are good ones.

433
00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:18.900
These ladies are ready to share.

434
00:19:18.900 --> 00:19:19.300
Okay.

435
00:19:19.340 --> 00:19:22.980
Next up is going to be, you guys have to turn your camera on.

436
00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:25.420
If you have stars next to your name, but no camera on, I won't

437
00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:26.460
be able to spotlight you.

438
00:19:26.860 --> 00:19:28.660
So make sure you get that camera on.

439
00:19:30.100 --> 00:19:30.460
Okay.

440
00:19:31.020 --> 00:19:32.940
I do not see a camera on that one.

441
00:19:36.100 --> 00:19:36.660
Interesting.

442
00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:39.900
Bethany, we need to figure out why some people are able to be spotlighted,

443
00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:42.140
like actual spotlight for everyone.

444
00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:43.900
And some people can only be pinned.

445
00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:47.900
I don't know if that's a setting that these people have on their zooms, but

446
00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:50.020
this is kind of a new thing that didn't happen before.

447
00:19:50.020 --> 00:19:51.980
So let's look into that for sure.

448
00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:53.140
Um, okay.

449
00:19:53.140 --> 00:19:55.780
I'm only going to be able to pin Julie won't let me spotlight her.

450
00:19:55.780 --> 00:19:58.820
So Julie McAllister, uh, Oh, you don't have your camera on.

451
00:19:58.900 --> 00:19:59.780
That's probably why.

452
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.240
Let's get your camera on, girl.

453
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.680
I'm going to remove the pin, give you a chance to get ready,

454
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:06.560
get your camera on.

455
00:20:06.560 --> 00:20:09.080
I might have just answered my own question there, Bethany,

456
00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:10.480
with the camera being off.

457
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.160
All right.

458
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:13.040
Next up is Elizabeth.

459
00:20:13.040 --> 00:20:14.280
Is it Bok or Balt?

460
00:20:14.280 --> 00:20:15.120
Like, is it Bok?

461
00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:18.240
Is that how we say the last name?

462
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.120
Baltz.

463
00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:19.680
Baltz.

464
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.600
OK, I was way off, and I usually am.

465
00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:22.600
OK.

466
00:20:22.600 --> 00:20:25.200
All right, Elizabeth, tell us about yourself.

467
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:26.000
Where are you from?

468
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.600
How old are you?

469
00:20:26.600 --> 00:20:27.160
Kids.

470
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:31.000
And then also, a fun fact.

471
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.880
OK, I'm Elizabeth.

472
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.040
I am originally from California.

473
00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:39.040
I lived in Georgia for about three years,

474
00:20:39.040 --> 00:20:44.680
and I just moved back about a month ago, back to California.

475
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:50.080
I am in Concord, like, Bay Area-ish right now,

476
00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:56.280
but in transition, so I'm not set on this as a home yet.

477
00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.840
So I'm 49.

478
00:20:58.840 --> 00:21:01.880
And let's see, what are the other things?

479
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.120
Oh, I've never been married.

480
00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:06.720
I don't have any kids.

481
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:12.480
Fun fact, let's see, I finished Bible school out there

482
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.760
in Georgia, and then I had lived in Italy at one point,

483
00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:18.240
so I could speak Italian.

484
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.560
I can only understand it now.

485
00:21:21.560 --> 00:21:23.560
So I love to travel.

486
00:21:23.560 --> 00:21:26.280
I love ministry.

487
00:21:26.280 --> 00:21:27.520
Love to cook.

488
00:21:27.520 --> 00:21:29.440
I don't know.

489
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:30.720
What else?

490
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:31.600
Yeah.

491
00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:32.560
Those are great.

492
00:21:32.560 --> 00:21:35.640
What's your favorite thing to cook?

493
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:37.200
I don't know.

494
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.520
Like, right tonight, I'm having people over after this,

495
00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:46.400
and I did a big pot of chicken tortilla soup.

496
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.000
Ooh, I like a chicken tortilla soup.

497
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:50.760
All right, guys, there you go.

498
00:21:50.760 --> 00:21:52.560
A way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

499
00:21:52.560 --> 00:21:57.840
All right, we have Elizabeth B. She is in California.

500
00:21:57.840 --> 00:22:00.560
All right, so go ahead and put that in the subject line

501
00:22:00.560 --> 00:22:02.160
if you want to meet her, if you feel

502
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:04.880
like you would be a good match or a good introduction

503
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:06.120
is what we should say.

504
00:22:06.120 --> 00:22:08.720
I don't want to put pressure on anyone to feel like matching.

505
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.320
It's just an introduction.

506
00:22:10.320 --> 00:22:11.760
OK, if you'd be a good introduction,

507
00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:13.640
make sure that you email us about Elizabeth.

508
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:14.640
Thank you, Elizabeth.

509
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.160
Thank you.

510
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.560
That red looks beautiful on you.

511
00:22:17.560 --> 00:22:18.080
Thank you.

512
00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:22.440
OK, let's go and see who else is ready for camera.

513
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:24.960
Ladies, if you have stars and you're getting spotlighted,

514
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:27.760
I need your cameras on.

515
00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:29.360
Several of you are getting passed by

516
00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:31.680
because you have no camera on.

517
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.920
All right, next up is Nicole.

518
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.360
Hi, Nicole.

519
00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:39.240
Hi.

520
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:40.400
Hi, you look beautiful.

521
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.800
Tell us about you.

522
00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:42.920
Thank you.

523
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:44.040
My name's Nicole.

524
00:22:44.040 --> 00:22:46.160
I'm 49 years old, born and raised

525
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.000
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

526
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:50.280
I have two older children.

527
00:22:50.280 --> 00:22:51.400
One still lives at home.

528
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:52.840
She's in college.

529
00:22:52.840 --> 00:22:55.880
And I have one granddaughter.

530
00:22:55.880 --> 00:23:00.480
Fun fact about me is I'm a good icebreaker.

531
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.480
I can basically go into a room and just

532
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:08.160
feel comfortable introducing and talking.

533
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.440
And I also love to cook, too.

534
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:11.440
What do you love to cook?

535
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.040
What's your go-to meal?

536
00:23:14.040 --> 00:23:16.600
So I love family dinner.

537
00:23:16.600 --> 00:23:20.200
So a big pot of gravy on Sunday is my favorite.

538
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:21.520
A big pot of what?

539
00:23:21.520 --> 00:23:23.480
Gravy, pasta, red gravy.

540
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.080
Oh, pasta and gravy, y'all.

541
00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:27.200
So you're Italian, right?

542
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:27.720
Yeah.

543
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:28.200
Oh, yeah.

544
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:30.880
Yeah, you are, because you called it gravy.

545
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:32.480
All right, she called it gravy, y'all.

546
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.520
So I know she's Italian.

547
00:23:33.520 --> 00:23:37.920
OK, so if you want to meet Nicole, PA, you can put Nicole.

548
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:39.280
You can put Go Eagles.

549
00:23:39.280 --> 00:23:40.560
You can put whatever you want.

550
00:23:40.560 --> 00:23:41.800
Go Birds.

551
00:23:41.800 --> 00:23:43.320
Go Birds.

552
00:23:43.320 --> 00:23:46.040
And we will introduce you to Nicole.

553
00:23:46.040 --> 00:23:47.360
Thank you, Nicole.

554
00:23:47.360 --> 00:23:49.160
Thank you.

555
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:49.920
All right.

556
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.040
These are fun.

557
00:23:51.040 --> 00:23:54.200
All right, let's see who we have next here.

558
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:58.800
Still waiting on people to put their cameras on.

559
00:23:58.800 --> 00:23:59.520
All right.

560
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.200
Nora, Nora in the Bay Area.

561
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:05.360
I know where Nora is.

562
00:24:05.360 --> 00:24:06.720
All right, Nora, you're up.

563
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.800
That pink looks great.

564
00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:08.920
She got her colors done.

565
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.880
Ladies, colors.

566
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.560
All right, what do we got, Nora?

567
00:24:12.560 --> 00:24:14.280
Hi, I'm Nora.

568
00:24:14.280 --> 00:24:15.960
I just turned 36.

569
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.240
I have no kids.

570
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:19.240
I've never been married.

571
00:24:19.280 --> 00:24:22.200
I'm in Walnut Creek, which is right next to Concord.

572
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:26.880
So we get to hang out, which is a suburb of San Francisco.

573
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.360
And I was thinking about a fun or just a fact about me.

574
00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:31.360
I don't know if it's fun.

575
00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:35.120
But I just recently joined a powerlifting gym.

576
00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:37.440
And so now I'm getting really into weightlifting.

577
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.320
And that has really involved a whole overhaul of my lifestyle,

578
00:24:41.320 --> 00:24:42.280
which I've been wanting.

579
00:24:42.280 --> 00:24:44.040
But it's been awesome.

580
00:24:44.040 --> 00:24:47.680
I'm waking up at 4.45 AM and running around and lifting

581
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.200
heavy things and drinking water a day.

582
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.480
It's been challenging.

583
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:56.360
But it's been really rewarding.

584
00:24:56.360 --> 00:25:01.000
And I just got a personal record for squatting yesterday.

585
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.840
So, awesome.

586
00:25:00.840 --> 00:25:02.960
Wow, that's so awesome.

587
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:04.000
So I love that you're like,

588
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.880
I've been running around picking up heavy things.

589
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:07.840
Love it, you guys.

590
00:25:07.840 --> 00:25:10.280
She picks it up and she puts it down.

591
00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:12.640
All right, guys, if you wanna meet Nora,

592
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.960
make sure that you put Nora,

593
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:16.480
we'll just put San Fran,

594
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:19.880
Nora San Fran in the subject line.

595
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:20.960
She is great.

596
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:23.600
I've met Nora in real life and she's wonderful.

597
00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:27.040
And so if you wanna meet Nora, let us know.

598
00:25:27.040 --> 00:25:28.440
All right, thank you, Nora.

599
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.600
Okay, let's see.

600
00:25:30.600 --> 00:25:32.560
Guys, I didn't even know who the female spotlights were

601
00:25:32.560 --> 00:25:33.720
because Bethany gathered them.

602
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:35.840
So this is a treat for me too.

603
00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:37.280
All right, Val is up.

604
00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:40.280
Hi Val, you're looking gorgeous.

605
00:25:40.280 --> 00:25:43.120
Hello, thank you.

606
00:25:43.120 --> 00:25:46.160
So I'm Val, I am 49.

607
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:48.560
I live in Redding, California.

608
00:25:48.560 --> 00:25:52.480
I do have one kiddo at home who's 10 years old.

609
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:54.960
And a fun fact about me,

610
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:57.960
I'm a healthcare executive,

611
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:01.600
but I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania

612
00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:04.600
and the farm has been in my family for over 200 years.

613
00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:09.080
So I can homestead, shoot a gun and run a company.

614
00:26:09.080 --> 00:26:12.760
So I have lots of fun stuff, so.

615
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:15.480
You guys, this is the woman that you want

616
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:17.360
next to you during the apocalypse.

617
00:26:17.360 --> 00:26:22.360
And a partner for the apocalypse, here she is.

618
00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:23.200
That's awesome.

619
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:24.600
Well, you don't look like you could do that stuff.

620
00:26:24.600 --> 00:26:26.480
And so kudos to you.

621
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:28.200
I mean, the business one, yes, for sure.

622
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:29.760
But all the rest of them.

623
00:26:29.760 --> 00:26:31.520
Can you make sourdough?

624
00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:34.200
I can, I have one going right now.

625
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:36.200
Wow, awesome.

626
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:39.800
All right, you need to post in the chat about that.

627
00:26:39.800 --> 00:26:42.000
There's been lots of failed sourdoughs

628
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.320
in our lives over here.

629
00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:46.160
And so yes, we need to learn that skill.

630
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:48.840
All right, you guys, Val, Redding, California.

631
00:26:48.840 --> 00:26:52.200
You can put Redding in that subject line.

632
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:54.320
She is ready to meet you.

633
00:26:54.320 --> 00:26:56.240
Are you ready to meet her?

634
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:57.840
Let's see.

635
00:26:57.840 --> 00:26:59.280
All right, thank you, Val.

636
00:27:01.320 --> 00:27:02.960
Guys, look at all these gorgeous women.

637
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:04.120
What in the world?

638
00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:06.600
Okay, we have our guys coming up soon.

639
00:27:06.600 --> 00:27:09.360
I'm gonna try to figure out how to,

640
00:27:09.360 --> 00:27:12.640
I think that this one, yes, Tatiana.

641
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.000
Am I saying that right, Tatiana?

642
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:16.320
Yes, Tatiana.

643
00:27:16.320 --> 00:27:18.320
Hello, gorgeous, how are you?

644
00:27:18.320 --> 00:27:19.440
Good, how are you?

645
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:20.440
Good.

646
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.160
I am located at the Jersey Shore.

647
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:24.400
That's what we call it in Jersey.

648
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:29.400
I'm out at the beach and I'm 27 location age.

649
00:27:30.360 --> 00:27:32.480
Something fun about me, is that next?

650
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:36.080
I live about five minute drive to the beach

651
00:27:36.080 --> 00:27:37.600
and I still take walks on the beach,

652
00:27:37.600 --> 00:27:39.040
even in the freezing cold,

653
00:27:39.040 --> 00:27:40.560
like it was eight degrees yesterday

654
00:27:40.560 --> 00:27:41.680
and I was still on there.

655
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.320
And I'll claim that to my Slavic roots.

656
00:27:45.360 --> 00:27:46.480
Okay, awesome.

657
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.760
All right, well, you know,

658
00:27:47.760 --> 00:27:51.240
the stereotype for Jersey Shore is really tan people

659
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.240
and you're nice peaches and cream complexion.

660
00:27:55.080 --> 00:27:58.560
So you don't have that dark self-tanner going on,

661
00:27:58.560 --> 00:27:59.880
which is fun.

662
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:02.440
And you're 27, did you say never married, no kids?

663
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:03.280
Is that what you said?

664
00:28:03.280 --> 00:28:05.240
That's correct, never married, no kids.

665
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:06.720
All right, so you guys,

666
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:10.040
if you want to meet Tatiana Jersey Shore,

667
00:28:10.040 --> 00:28:13.800
put that in the subject line of your email.

668
00:28:13.800 --> 00:28:15.560
Remember, she's only 27 years old,

669
00:28:15.560 --> 00:28:16.920
never been married, no kids.

670
00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:19.440
And so guys, I don't want you 50 year old

671
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:22.960
showing up in my email trying to talk to Tatiana, okay?

672
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.200
You guys know that my rule of thumb is matching seasons,

673
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:28.200
not necessarily age groups,

674
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:32.320
but I do like age groups to stay within a 10 year radius.

675
00:28:32.320 --> 00:28:34.800
All right, so match seasons.

676
00:28:34.800 --> 00:28:38.400
Okay, people who want to raise families and have babies,

677
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.560
those people should gravitate towards each other.

678
00:28:40.560 --> 00:28:42.400
The people that are done with that part of their life,

679
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:44.520
they should gravitate towards each other.

680
00:28:44.520 --> 00:28:47.480
People that want to travel and refire, not retire,

681
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.760
they should gravitate towards each other.

682
00:28:49.800 --> 00:28:53.280
People that want to stay in one place and just relax

683
00:28:53.280 --> 00:28:55.160
because they're refiring a different way,

684
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:56.520
they should gravitate towards each other.

685
00:28:56.520 --> 00:28:57.760
Let's match seasons,

686
00:28:57.760 --> 00:29:00.840
but let's try to keep it within a 10 year age span, all right?

687
00:29:00.840 --> 00:29:03.320
Thank you so much for joining us, Tatiana,

688
00:29:03.320 --> 00:29:06.400
and hopefully we'll give you some single spotlights.

689
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.960
We'll give you some intros.

690
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:11.080
All right, who is up next?

691
00:29:13.280 --> 00:29:15.240
I'm going to try this one.

692
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:16.680
Yeah, it still won't let me spotlight you.

693
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:18.640
Sarah Beth, do you have your camera on?

694
00:29:20.520 --> 00:29:22.840
Okay, I'm going to try to get my camera on.

695
00:29:22.840 --> 00:29:26.400
She's from last month, she just forgot to remove the asterisk.

696
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:27.240
Oh, okay.

697
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.800
Yeah, and Simone and Debra,

698
00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:32.520

699
00:29:32.520 --> 00:29:34.640
Debra's trying, but she can't hear Simone.

700
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.600
Thank you for telling me about that.

701
00:29:36.600 --> 00:29:37.440

710
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:53.440
I have never been married.

711
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:55.160
I don't have any kids.

712
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:58.640
And I'm currently in Greenville, South Carolina.

713
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:00.080
So the upstate, O.S.T.

714
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.280
North Carolina area. I grew up in Atlanta. I'm originally from New York City and a

715
00:30:06.280 --> 00:30:13.040
fun fact about myself is I work for the news. I am a reporter and anchor for CBS

716
00:30:13.040 --> 00:30:20.560
and I've lived in four different states in the past seven years. Wow. Four

717
00:30:20.560 --> 00:30:26.520
different states in seven years. How come? Just moving around for my job. We work on

718
00:30:26.520 --> 00:30:32.760
contracts and I've lived in the Midwest. I've lived in Ohio, Arkansas, South

719
00:30:32.760 --> 00:30:39.000
Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina. Really all over. Okay, wow. That's awesome. Well

720
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:43.800
that's a great fun job. You love it? I love it. Yeah. I've been doing it seven years, more

721
00:30:43.800 --> 00:30:49.600
than seven years. I've covered everything from wildfires to hot air balloon tours

722
00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:55.720
to I've been in helicopters. I've covered two-headed rattlesnakes. So there's

723
00:30:55.760 --> 00:31:02.040
really a whole lot. There's really not a whole lot that I haven't seen. That is amazing. All

724
00:31:02.040 --> 00:31:05.760
right. Well, Simone's seen it all. So you're not going to surprise her with, you

725
00:31:05.760 --> 00:31:10.960
know, your, your, uh, your hobby of doing something dangerous or crazy. Um, she's

726
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:14.520
been around, she's covered all the people that do that. So if you want someone

727
00:31:14.520 --> 00:31:18.760
who's adventurous, who likes to travel and isn't afraid of change, Simone is your

728
00:31:18.760 --> 00:31:24.000

00:33:30.320 --> 00:33:33.760
going to have two different Josh's even tonight. And so we need to make sure

753
00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:39.400
that you're putting in their city. So write it down. All right. First up is my

754
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:43.320
friend. Uh, we've met several times in person. He's helped David and I at some

755
00:33:43.320 --> 00:33:49.240

758
00:33:57.560 --> 00:34:00.360
now. You're going to tell us some fun, a fun fact about yourself, but then

759
00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:04.520
we're going to allow the ladies to ask you just a handful of questions. All

760
00:34:04.520 --> 00:34:10.719
right. So Josh, hi. Hi. Why do I, why do I have to go first? You were just

761
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:14.960
right there on my screen. I don't know. Great. Great. Awesome. You know, this

762
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:18.320
whole time I'm trying to think like, what are my fun facts? So, Oh, well,

763
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.840
for you, if you don't know any, I know if I can't, you might have to jump in,

764
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:26.880
but, uh, that's good. Yeah. So, uh, yeah. Good to see you. I'm glad to be here.

765
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:37.560
So, um, yeah, so I am, I just turned 42. Uh, I am divorced, but it was very long

766
00:34:37.560 --> 00:34:41.080
time ago. I got married extremely young, like very early twenties, got divorced

767
00:34:41.080 --> 00:34:45.400
shortly thereafter. So it's been like 15 years almost. So it doesn't even feel

768
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:51.080
like it ever happened. Um, yeah, no kids. I live in Connecticut. Um, sitting

769
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:54.679
doesn't really matter cause Connecticut's so small. So I'm right between New York

770
00:34:54.679 --> 00:35:00.040
city and Boston. Um, yeah. Fun fact. Um,

771
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.940
Um, well, in my early forties now and kind of rediscovering, uh, who I am, uh,

772
00:35:06.940 --> 00:35:12.220
which may be a common theme, but the Lord is really, uh, bring me to discover new

773
00:35:12.220 --> 00:35:15.620
things and actually go after things and learn stuff that I wasn't doing in my

774
00:35:15.620 --> 00:35:16.020
thirties.

775
00:35:16.020 --> 00:35:19.820
So I'm considering going back to school, possibly for an MBA.

776
00:35:20.100 --> 00:35:22.260
Uh, I've taken up martial arts.

777
00:35:22.580 --> 00:35:26.420
I'm going to resume ballroom dancing at some point in the very near future.

778
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:32.040
Uh, I love traveling history, archeology.

779
00:35:32.040 --> 00:35:35.480
I want to go learn how to do bushcraft out in the woods and like do all that

780
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:39.680
crazy, like build your own shelter type stuff.

781
00:35:39.720 --> 00:35:44.040
Uh, but I also like dressing up real well, going to the city and going to cool

782
00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:44.400
events.

783
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:46.800
So like, I am, I'm all over the map.

784
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:49.100
I just want to do fun stuff and live my life.

785
00:35:49.120 --> 00:35:49.400
So.

786
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:50.960
Love it.

787
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:54.840
And did you say anything about like teaching other men how to dress well?

788
00:35:55.120 --> 00:35:55.720
Oh goodness.

789
00:35:56.100 --> 00:35:56.380
Yeah.

790
00:35:56.380 --> 00:35:57.900
So I still have to go do that thing.

791
00:35:58.020 --> 00:36:02.380
Um, yeah, so, uh, yeah, so that's been something the Lord's had on me.

792
00:36:02.380 --> 00:36:06.060
I've been trying to figure out how to, uh, maybe start some social media

793
00:36:06.060 --> 00:36:07.460
content regarding that.

794
00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:09.660
Um, I learned through ballroom dancing.

795
00:36:10.060 --> 00:36:15.500
Um, I did that through a college program in grad school and that was my thirties.

796
00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:18.660
And I kind of saw that these college kids, uh, didn't really understand how to

797
00:36:18.660 --> 00:36:23.220
like put together like a suit and tie and like how to do things right.

798
00:36:23.240 --> 00:36:27.920
So, uh, I kind of started mentoring there and since then have just kind of on the

799
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:34.560
side, uh, made a hobby out of, um, learning how to dress properly and not

800
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:35.520
expensively.

801
00:36:35.520 --> 00:36:40.480
So yes, I do owe a mentorship to the guys and show them the ropes on that.

802
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:41.640
So coming soon.

803
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:42.960
Love it.

804
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:44.040
Love your background too.

805
00:36:44.040 --> 00:36:44.640
That looks great.

806
00:36:45.040 --> 00:36:45.400
Thank you.

807
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:46.080
Yeah.

808
00:36:46.120 --> 00:36:46.360
Okay.

809
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:47.200
All right.

810
00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:50.120
So you guys, um, that's a little bit about Josh.

811
00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:51.800
We already have some questions coming in.

812
00:36:51.940 --> 00:36:54.380
Is Josh settled or is he open to relocation?

813
00:36:55.340 --> 00:36:55.860
Oh goodness.

814
00:36:56.300 --> 00:36:57.220
Uh, not settled.

815
00:36:57.220 --> 00:37:01.100
I'm actually about to be house hunting again for like the fourth year in a row,

816
00:37:01.100 --> 00:37:03.740
but everyone who knows the market knows that's terrible.

817
00:37:04.180 --> 00:37:09.620
I'm open to relocation for, yeah, if I'm going to get married, if like, if she's

818
00:37:09.620 --> 00:37:14.620
the one, yeah, I will drop what I'm doing here and move like that's, that's more

819
00:37:14.620 --> 00:37:15.020
important.

820
00:37:15.060 --> 00:37:19.460
So I'm not, I'm not married to my location, but I'm here until, you know,

821
00:37:19.460 --> 00:37:20.500
I'm directed otherwise.

822
00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:21.960
Okay.

823
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:22.880
That's a good answer.

824
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:25.640
Open, willing wherever God takes you.

825
00:37:26.020 --> 00:37:30.080
Um, you guys, uh, will move for love.

826
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:30.600
All right.

827
00:37:30.600 --> 00:37:34.520
Lots of women just talking about dancing and they're so like a guy who knows how

828
00:37:34.520 --> 00:37:36.080
to dance will never be lonely.

829
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:40.360
Ladies, you have any other questions for, for Josh besides just swooning

830
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:42.120
over the ballroom dancing comments?

831
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:45.840
What's your favorite?

832
00:37:46.560 --> 00:37:48.280
What's my favorite with the dancing?

833
00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:49.040
What's your favorite?

834
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:49.960
Oh goodness.

835
00:37:50.020 --> 00:37:54.900
Um, well, I'm going to be getting into salsa and like Latin dance and all that.

836
00:37:55.340 --> 00:37:56.340
I really want to do that.

837
00:37:56.340 --> 00:38:01.300
But when I was doing ballroom, I competed, uh, international ballroom style.

838
00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:07.540
So, uh, waltzes, Foxtrots, tangos, all that, but going for salsa and swing

839
00:38:07.540 --> 00:38:09.260
probably, uh, yes.

840
00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:10.060
West coast swing.

841
00:38:10.860 --> 00:38:12.420
I've tried that and it's a lot of fun.

842
00:38:12.460 --> 00:38:13.820
I didn't get good at it, but I want to.

843
00:38:14.380 --> 00:38:14.780
Okay.

844
00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:15.380
Awesome.

845
00:38:15.740 --> 00:38:16.100
All right.

846
00:38:16.100 --> 00:38:16.980
Do you want kids?

847
00:38:17.700 --> 00:38:18.220
Oh yeah.

848
00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:18.540
Yeah.

849
00:38:19.120 --> 00:38:20.320
What if someone already has them?

850
00:38:21.080 --> 00:38:21.680
That's okay.

851
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:27.080
It's, you know, there's depends on maybe how many age and all that, like

852
00:38:27.080 --> 00:38:29.580
each thing is something to adjust to, but I'm open to it.

853
00:38:29.580 --> 00:38:29.760
Yeah.

854
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:31.200
Open, open, open.

855
00:38:31.520 --> 00:38:32.240
Josh is open.

856
00:38:32.240 --> 00:38:32.760
Love it.

857
00:38:33.120 --> 00:38:35.280
Um, this is just moving forward so fast.

858
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:36.920
Uh, let's see.

859
00:38:37.520 --> 00:38:45.540
Um, what have you, someone wants to know what you've been up to since we saw you

860
00:38:45.540 --> 00:38:49.400
last, because it's been a while since you've been in the community.

861
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:52.480
Like, what have you, what have you been doing as is basically what someone's

862
00:38:52.480 --> 00:39:00.680
asking where you've been working and yeah, a lot of work, um, church

863
00:39:00.680 --> 00:39:04.400
hunting, uh, had a situation with my church that kind of went south.

864
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:08.120
So I'm, uh, been looking for a new place and really just seeking

865
00:39:08.120 --> 00:39:09.320
the Lord and kind of laying low.

866
00:39:09.560 --> 00:39:11.000
So, yeah, that's hard.

867
00:39:11.040 --> 00:39:14.000
That's hard because raise your hand if you're looking for a church right

868
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:18.060
now, if for whatever reason, and a lot of people lost their churches during

869
00:39:18.060 --> 00:39:21.500
quarantine, their churches shut down, or they no longer felt like they could go

870
00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:25.300
back there, they didn't feel led to continue there, lots of hands going up.

871
00:39:25.620 --> 00:39:27.020
Um, what are you reading right now?

872
00:39:27.020 --> 00:39:28.220
Currently, Josh, what are you reading?

873
00:39:28.260 --> 00:39:28.940
Oh goodness.

874
00:39:29.020 --> 00:39:33.540
Uh, I think I've got like two or three books going on.

875
00:39:33.580 --> 00:39:40.820
Um, one of them is called, uh, no God, but one Allah or Jesus.

876
00:39:40.820 --> 00:39:43.820
And it's written by, uh, this guy, Nabil Qureshi.

877
00:39:43.820 --> 00:39:47.240
He is a Muslim turned Christian apologist.

878
00:39:47.680 --> 00:39:49.720
Uh, wild, wild story.

879
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:50.960
Um, really good information.

880
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:57.240
I just got done reading, uh, the Sporn for Significance, which is by Bill Johnson.

881
00:39:57.240 --> 00:39:59.960
That was a book that was given to me by somebody on a prophetic.

882
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.080
Uh, mission and it's paying dividends and, uh,

883
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:07.920
gosh, it's like two other books right now that I can't even think of, but yeah,

884
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:08.800
I read a few at a time.

885
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:14.320
Okay. Awesome. All right, Josh. Well, we're so glad to have you with us tonight.

886
00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:16.800
You guys, if you want to know more about Josh, but Josh,

887
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:20.280
but CT Connecticut in the subject line of your email,

888
00:40:20.520 --> 00:40:22.840
keep in mind some of the things that Josh shared about himself.

889
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.240
And if you think that you would be a good introduction for Josh,

890
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:27.240
we would love to hear from you, Josh.

891
00:40:27.240 --> 00:40:30.320
I appreciate you joining us and we'll see you a little later.

892
00:40:30.720 --> 00:40:31.560
Take care. Thanks.

893
00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:37.880
Someone asked what, what denomination Josh is just non-denominational spirit,

894
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:41.160
filled non-denominational. All right.

895
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:45.160
Cause I know him so I can answer that question for him. Okay. Um,

896
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:48.320
all right, next up, who do I have on my list here?

897
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:52.280
Now funny story about our next bachelor, but first of all,

898
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:54.200
any of the guys that are going to be spotlighted tonight,

899
00:40:54.200 --> 00:40:56.520
do any of you guys need to leave, go ahead and raise your hand.

900
00:40:56.520 --> 00:40:57.640
So I'll get to you now.

901
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:01.760
Any of you guys have something that you need to get to, um,

902
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:05.280
raise your little avatar hand so I can see it.

903
00:41:05.720 --> 00:41:10.200
Otherwise if you can just hang tight with us, I'll just go in order here.

904
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:16.360
Nobody. Okay. All right. Funny story about the next,

905
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:18.680
this is someone that I forgot to give the link to,

906
00:41:18.680 --> 00:41:20.120
and I'm so glad he made it here,

907
00:41:20.120 --> 00:41:24.840
but I want to tell a funny little story about David. This is David from Texas.

908
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:28.800
Hey, David, it's so good to see you again. How are you?

909
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.040
You're going to have to unmute yourself. Um, if you're muted,

910
00:41:31.200 --> 00:41:33.800
cause I didn't hear you. Hey, Hey,

911
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.000
I'm doing well. Yes. You looks like you're in space,

912
00:41:38.040 --> 00:41:43.040
which is good. That's fitting. Are you working for Elon?

913
00:41:43.040 --> 00:41:45.560
What are you doing? What's going on? Okay. You guys,

914
00:41:45.560 --> 00:41:49.240
I have a funny story about David and I think I told him this. So,

915
00:41:49.240 --> 00:41:51.280
but I didn't tell him I was going to share this story.

916
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:54.680
So I was praying last year, actually,

917
00:41:54.680 --> 00:41:58.640
it was a 23 that this happened the end of 23.

918
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:03.000
And I was praying and the Lord spoke to me cause I was praying about guys is

919
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:05.280
praying about matches for the ladies in our program.

920
00:42:05.680 --> 00:42:10.120
And God told me that he was going to bring his Davids from the field.

921
00:42:10.720 --> 00:42:12.480
Okay. You guys know the story of King David, you know,

922
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:13.760
when he was a shepherd boy, you know,

923
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:17.360
when he was out in the fields tending his father's flocks and you know,

924
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:21.640
when the, the prophet came to anoint a King from Jesse's family,

925
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:25.640
David wasn't in the lineup because he was about his father's business, right?

926
00:42:26.120 --> 00:42:27.720
In the field, in the pastures.

927
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.560
And then it was only when the father called him in that he came.

928
00:42:30.560 --> 00:42:32.720
And so God highlighted that story to me. And he said,

929
00:42:33.040 --> 00:42:36.840
I'm bringing my Davids in from the field, men that are after my own heart,

930
00:42:37.120 --> 00:42:39.640
men that have been about my business.

931
00:42:39.680 --> 00:42:42.560
And now I'm calling them in to let them know it's time for them to take their

932
00:42:42.560 --> 00:42:46.440
partners. It's time for them to find their wives. You guys, the very next day,

933
00:42:46.560 --> 00:42:51.000
this guy whose name happens to be David dropped in my DMS told me that he'd

934
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:55.440
heard about me from a mutual friend and that he was ready to find his wife.

935
00:42:55.680 --> 00:43:00.080
Talk about a confirmation of the word that God gave me.

936
00:43:00.080 --> 00:43:04.120
And his name is David to boot. And so I just wanted to tell that story.

937
00:43:04.120 --> 00:43:07.560
So David, tell us where you're from, where you're living now.

938
00:43:07.560 --> 00:43:10.840
We see it there, Tyler, Texas, but tell us a fun fact about yourself.

939
00:43:11.200 --> 00:43:13.120
And then we'll let the ladies ask you a couple of questions.

940
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:18.400
Sure. Um, so let's see, I grew up in Bethesda, Maryland.

941
00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:21.440
So it's a suburb of Washington, DC. Um,

942
00:43:21.520 --> 00:43:24.800
spend a few years in Madison, Wisconsin. Um,

943
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:28.320
I was working with a group called youth with a mission, um, why wham?

944
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:32.720
So I spent a few years serving with why wham up in Madison, Wisconsin.

945
00:43:32.720 --> 00:43:36.520
It's actually what brought me to Tyler, Texas. Um,

946
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:38.320
I was thinking to myself in high school,

947
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:41.440
what's the chances I'll ever live in Texas probably low.

948
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:45.400
So I won't take Spanish should have taken Spanish.

949
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.200
No, I took French in high school. That was a mistake.

950
00:43:51.120 --> 00:43:54.280
Yeah. I all, I also took French. So yes.

951
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:59.400
So, but, um, yep.

952
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:03.840
So I've been in Tyler, Texas, uh, since 2004. Um,

953
00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:08.360
uh, I was married. Um, uh, I am now divorced. Um,

954
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:12.880
I do have two kids. Um, so my daughter, Ava is 16.

955
00:44:13.040 --> 00:44:15.880
My son, um, Peter is 13.

956
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:21.080
So I'm on good terms with my ex-wife actually bought a house.

957
00:44:21.080 --> 00:44:25.240
That's about three blocks away from hers. So, um, so we,

958
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:30.200
we co-parent together, um, and the kids, so there's officially, uh, you know,

959
00:44:30.520 --> 00:44:32.240
I guess, supposedly a custody arrangement,

960
00:44:32.240 --> 00:44:34.160
but the kids come over pretty much every day.

961
00:44:34.160 --> 00:44:36.760
Ava actually eventually moved into my house.

962
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:39.080
So she's actually right over there now, um,

963
00:44:39.600 --> 00:44:43.640
even though officially the kids live with their mom, but, um,

964
00:44:44.200 --> 00:44:47.880
Ava liked her dad. So, um, she thought her dad was nice guy.

965
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:51.920
So she moved over here. So, um, but I guess, uh,

966
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:56.000
a fun fact with me over the last few years, um,

967
00:44:56.200 --> 00:44:58.560
I've joined a few online communities. Um,

968
00:44:58.600 --> 00:45:00.080
I suppose this counts as an online.

969
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.880
one community too. And those have really helped me to process a number of things, ranging

970
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:13.680
from wounding from my childhood, which started with one called prophetic heart healing, PHH.

971
00:45:13.680 --> 00:45:22.320
So some of the inner heart healing sessions from that were incredibly restorative in rebuilding

972
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:29.560
my sense of identity. From that, one of the co-founders, Turok, introduced me to a friend

973
00:45:29.560 --> 00:45:34.600
and mentor of his named Dub Alexander, and I ended up in a program of his called School

974
00:45:34.600 --> 00:45:39.520
of Kingdom. So I spent two years in a program called School of Kingdom, which is almost

975
00:45:39.520 --> 00:45:45.300
like an online Bible school. So that led me on a great deal of deconstruction of a lot

976
00:45:45.300 --> 00:45:52.260
of unhealthy religious ideas that I had, and really rebuilt my theology and understanding

977
00:45:52.260 --> 00:45:59.540
of God around the intimate experiences that I had been having with him in some of the

978
00:45:59.540 --> 00:46:06.180
PHH sessions that I'd been having. Wonderful. So Dave is having some growth spurt spiritually.

979
00:46:06.180 --> 00:46:09.900
That's amazing. I know all the people he's talking about. They're all friends of mine.

980
00:46:09.900 --> 00:46:14.620
They're all incredible people, which I feel like one of them, Elise is probably who told

981
00:46:14.620 --> 00:46:19.500
you about me in the first place or someone within her program. And so we've actually

982
00:46:19.500 --> 00:46:24.260
had her as a guest mentor in here many times since the beginning of our program. And you

983
00:46:24.260 --> 00:46:30.220
guys, David loves Jesus and he's growing and he has a high spiritual IQ, which is what

984
00:46:30.220 --> 00:46:35.260
all of you ladies are always asking for. So that's fun. And he has a good relationship

985
00:46:35.260 --> 00:46:39.500
with his children. But there's a former wife that he does get along with, but she lives

986
00:46:39.500 --> 00:46:43.700
three blocks away. So if you're a jealous person, if you're a territorial person, this

987
00:46:43.700 --> 00:46:47.580
is not the right match for you. If you're not someone who can get along just as well

988
00:46:47.660 --> 00:46:51.580
with his former wife who lives three blocks away, and this is not the right match for

989
00:46:51.580 --> 00:46:56.180
you. All right. But David we'd like to ask you some questions, ladies. I know you have

990
00:46:56.180 --> 00:47:01.060
questions for David, so let's go with your questions. People are like getting along with

991
00:47:01.060 --> 00:47:06.700
the X is always a huge positive. It is true. We're a blended family as all of you know,

992
00:47:06.700 --> 00:47:13.020
and we get along really well with the formers, the formers in our relationships as well.

993
00:47:13.020 --> 00:47:19.380
It takes work though. It does take work. Um, what questions do you guys have? Age people

994
00:47:19.380 --> 00:47:25.880
are like, you forgot to tell us your age, David. Oh, I almost forgot. Um, I am 50. Um,

995
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:35.300
so that, uh, I just turned 50. It's the greatest, right? Yeah. It's my gosh. You do not look

996
00:47:35.300 --> 00:47:45.180
50 at all, Jackie. You don't look 50. What's your favorite potato? French fries? Baked?

997
00:47:45.180 --> 00:47:51.420
My goodness. I'm going to sound like a hobbit. Um, they're so good when they're mashed. They're

998
00:47:51.420 --> 00:47:56.060
good when they're, or either that or a Forrest Gump truck. First or second breakfast. No,

999
00:47:56.060 --> 00:48:00.660
I'm just kidding. Which potato do you like? Um, they're good when they're diced. They're

1000
00:48:00.660 --> 00:48:06.420
good when they're, um, Oh my goodness. Uh, potatoes are, you know, they're amazing and

1001
00:48:06.420 --> 00:48:11.740
almost that you can almost can't go wrong with the potato. It's true. You can't. I like that

1002
00:48:11.740 --> 00:48:17.100
answer with a potato. You just can't go wrong. Even sweet potatoes. I like sweet potatoes. Um,

1003
00:48:17.100 --> 00:48:21.220
potatoes are life. People are saying, they're saying that we both look young. Do you want,

1004
00:48:21.220 --> 00:48:27.580
do you want more children? Your daughter's 10, right? The youngest is 10. Um, my daughter's 16,

1005
00:48:28.300 --> 00:48:37.980
Peter's 13. I hadn't thought about that a whole lot. Um, I I'd probably be open to it. Um, you

1006
00:48:37.980 --> 00:48:43.980
know, cause for a while I'd been thinking about, you know, thinking that I'm, that I was finished,

1007
00:48:43.980 --> 00:48:51.100
but it would probably depend a lot on who I, who I marry. So, so it's one of those things that I'm

1008
00:48:51.100 --> 00:48:58.620
not necessarily really stuck on. So I'd say open. You're open. What about, um, mine and yours?

1009
00:48:58.620 --> 00:49:03.900
What about blending family with someone who has children in Texas? Cause obviously you guys, he

1010
00:49:03.900 --> 00:49:08.700
is, he is part of a shared parenting agreement, so to speak. It's loose, but it's there. Um,

1011
00:49:08.700 --> 00:49:15.900
he is in Tyler. You are in Tyler, correct? Yes. Okay. Yep. Yep. And definitely open to

1012
00:49:16.780 --> 00:49:21.660
more kids if she has some of her own. Yeah. All right, guys, you're going to be the right

1013
00:49:21.660 --> 00:49:26.380
match for David. If you're really open to what God is doing, cause you can tell he follows after

1014
00:49:26.380 --> 00:49:30.940
the spirit and what God is asking and showing him to do. Um, you're also going to be a good

1015
00:49:30.940 --> 00:49:38.220
match for David. If you are, if you're desiring to grow, you see the, the, the thesis of David's

1016
00:49:38.220 --> 00:49:44.300
talk tonight was all about that. He has been following after the Holy spirit to new places

1017
00:49:44.300 --> 00:49:50.620
of promotion and growth and new ideas. And so if you're closed minded, if you have like an us for

1018
00:49:50.620 --> 00:49:54.940
a no more denominational Christian mindset, you're probably not going to be the right

1019
00:49:54.940 --> 00:49:59.820
match for David. And if you're not someone who's been working on your own heart, all of you should.

1020
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:01.440
be doing that since you're in here

1021
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:04.120
and heart work is our first phase.

1022
00:50:04.120 --> 00:50:05.440
So someone open-minded,

1023
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:08.640
someone who wants to grow spiritually and personally,

1024
00:50:08.640 --> 00:50:11.180
someone who's open to loving children

1025
00:50:11.180 --> 00:50:14.280
that are already here in the family and loving their mom

1026
00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:16.680
and being able to continue to build a bridge there

1027
00:50:16.680 --> 00:50:18.280
between David and his former wife,

1028
00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:20.480
being part of that parenting team,

1029
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:23.480
all of those things, you would make a great partner

1030
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:26.240
for David and you're just willing to do

1031
00:50:26.240 --> 00:50:29.840
and go wherever God is sending you, all right?

1032
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:31.920
So great, David, I'm so glad that you made it over here.

1033
00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:33.760
I'm sorry that I didn't give you the link sooner,

1034
00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:38.240
but you guys, he's also really ready to go,

1035
00:50:38.240 --> 00:50:41.960
spontaneous and ready to just jump in

1036
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:44.320
even if it's not ideal circumstances.

1037
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:45.840
So I appreciate that.

1038
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:47.320
Thanks for joining us.

1039
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:48.560
Thanks, Shay.

1040
00:50:48.560 --> 00:50:52.120
All right, you're gonna put David Tyler, Texas

1041
00:50:52.120 --> 00:50:56.540
in the subject line of that email, all right?

1042
00:50:57.600 --> 00:50:59.740
So good to see you guys again.

1043
00:51:00.640 --> 00:51:03.440
You guys, we have one, two, three, four Davids

1044
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:04.320
on the call tonight.

1045
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:07.440
Remember that word's not just about a man named David,

1046
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.520
but that word is still good.

1047
00:51:09.520 --> 00:51:11.920
And I will tell you that one of those Davids is taken

1048
00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:14.800
because he's my David, hands off.

1049
00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:17.800
There's three Davids, three Davids up for grabs.

1050
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:21.080
All right, let's go to another, I think it's interesting.

1051
00:51:21.080 --> 00:51:25.140
We have another, it's not letting me type anything.

1052
00:51:26.200 --> 00:51:29.000
Any idea why that is, IT department?

1053
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:31.800
I'm gonna go to another Joshua,

1054
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:33.840
and this one is in Redding, California.

1055
00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:35.400
Hi, Josh.

1056
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:36.320
Hey, Jackie.

1057
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:37.240
Hey, everyone.

1058
00:51:37.240 --> 00:51:39.000
I like your mustache.

1059
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:40.880
Yep, this comes out about once a year

1060
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:42.880
and you caught me in my mustache phase.

1061
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:44.760
I like it, it's not creepy.

1062
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:47.680
It's not like man with a white van down by the river.

1063
00:51:47.680 --> 00:51:51.400
It's not, yeah, it's good, it's like the 70s show.

1064
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:53.520
Like, I like it, it's good.

1065
00:51:53.520 --> 00:51:54.720
All right, tell us about you.

1066
00:51:54.720 --> 00:51:57.960
Age, where are you from, where are you at now?

1067
00:51:58.000 --> 00:51:59.760
And some fun facts.

1068
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:02.800
Yep, yep, so I am 38.

1069
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:04.480
I grew up in Pennsylvania.

1070
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:06.560
I spent actually five years in Albania

1071
00:52:06.560 --> 00:52:08.400
as a missionary kid during that time.

1072
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:11.920
And now I've been in Redding, California for eight years.

1073
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:13.040
I call Redding home.

1074
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:18.920
And I am working as a project manager here in town

1075
00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:22.440
and studying towards a degree in psychology.

1076
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:25.040
I wanna be a counselor long-term,

1077
00:52:25.040 --> 00:52:27.080
so that fills a lot of my time right now.

1078
00:52:28.600 --> 00:52:32.200
And I'm never married, no kids.

1079
00:52:32.200 --> 00:52:34.240
I wanna be married, I wanna have kids.

1080
00:52:34.240 --> 00:52:39.240
And fun fact, I spent 11 years in YWAM,

1081
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:43.120
leading YWAM schools.

1082
00:52:43.120 --> 00:52:46.480
I've been to 31 countries with YWAM.

1083
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:50.000
Wow, 31 countries, that's a lot.

1084
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:51.880
What kind of counseling you wanna do?

1085
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:53.400
Like when you get like,

1086
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:56.880
who do you really have a heart to help with that degree?

1087
00:52:58.400 --> 00:52:59.240
It's a good question.

1088
00:52:59.240 --> 00:53:01.720
I'm kind of moving in that direction

1089
00:53:01.720 --> 00:53:05.680
without a lot of super clear focus yet.

1090
00:53:05.680 --> 00:53:07.240
My goal right now is to pursue

1091
00:53:07.240 --> 00:53:09.360
the marriage and family therapy license.

1092
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:15.280
So yeah, I wanna work with couples and individuals

1093
00:53:16.600 --> 00:53:19.200
probably in a private practice setting.

1094
00:53:20.080 --> 00:53:22.120
Okay, I love that, that's so good.

1095
00:53:22.120 --> 00:53:24.080
Families need it so desperately.

1096
00:53:24.120 --> 00:53:28.160
Lots of families hurting, in pain,

1097
00:53:28.160 --> 00:53:32.000
need that type of resolution, reconciliation,

1098
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:34.520
need those mediator voices, so good.

1099
00:53:34.520 --> 00:53:37.240
All right, what's the craziest and most unique thing

1100
00:53:37.240 --> 00:53:39.920
that you have eaten on all of your travels?

1101
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:40.760
I love those questions.

1102
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:41.600
Oh dear.

1103
00:53:41.600 --> 00:53:42.760
Nora, great question.

1104
00:53:44.080 --> 00:53:46.400
You said, oh dear, I'm scared now.

1105
00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:49.320
It's gonna be brains of something.

1106
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:50.640
I don't think I've eaten brains.

1107
00:53:50.640 --> 00:53:54.960
I think chicken foot, like chicken claw,

1108
00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:57.440
Phoenix claw in Hong Kong, that's pretty gross.

1109
00:53:57.440 --> 00:53:58.280
I've eaten that.

1110
00:53:59.200 --> 00:54:00.760
It's a claw?

1111
00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:02.560
Yeah, like the actual foot of the chicken

1112
00:54:02.560 --> 00:54:05.800
and you peel the skin off of it with your teeth

1113
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:07.840
and you don't eat the bone, you spit out the bone.

1114
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:08.720
It's a whole thing.

1115
00:54:08.720 --> 00:54:10.920
Let me guess, it tastes like chicken.

1116
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:14.400
No, it's very unremarkable.

1117
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:16.800
So yeah, I guess in that regard, it is like chicken.

1118
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:19.360
Someone just said it's so good.

1119
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:21.120
It must be an acquired taste.

1120
00:54:21.120 --> 00:54:22.960
Yeah, I don't think so.

1121
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:24.560
Okay, all right, that's the weirdest thing

1122
00:54:24.560 --> 00:54:25.680
that he's eaten, you guys.

1123
00:54:25.680 --> 00:54:26.520
What else?

1124
00:54:26.520 --> 00:54:27.840
What else do we have?

1125
00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:28.680
Who else?

1126
00:54:29.680 --> 00:54:31.320
Favorite thing to do outside?

1127
00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:35.960
We have a lake called Whiskeytown Lake

1128
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:38.440
near Reading, about 20 minutes outside of Reading,

1129
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:41.080
and that is hands down my favorite place to be,

1130
00:54:41.080 --> 00:54:44.120
even in the wintertime, getting in the cold water

1131
00:54:44.120 --> 00:54:45.200
and in the summer, absolutely.

1132
00:54:45.200 --> 00:54:47.680
I just, I love being outside in nature by the lake.

1133
00:54:47.680 --> 00:54:49.200
Do you guys do the polar plunge there?

1134
00:54:50.040 --> 00:54:50.880
I've been to that lake.

1135
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:51.720
Oh yeah.

1136
00:54:51.720 --> 00:54:52.560
You do?

1137
00:54:52.560 --> 00:54:53.400
Oh yeah, yeah.

1138
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:54.240
It doesn't get super cold.

1139
00:54:54.240 --> 00:54:57.880
It gets down to like 50, 52, so it's not crazy cold.

1140
00:54:57.880 --> 00:54:59.640
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1141
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.320
So you see that Josh has dedicated a lot of his life to serving the Lord.

1142
00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:08.600
I got a word years ago that, um, God was bringing partners for people who had

1143
00:55:08.600 --> 00:55:11.080
sacrificed so much for missions.

1144
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:15.560
And I believe that Josh fits that so many of you that are on here fit that when

1145
00:55:15.560 --> 00:55:18.480
other people were running off and getting married young and having families, you

1146
00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:22.480
were after the call of the Lord going in training and going to different countries

1147
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:23.160
and serving.

1148
00:55:23.540 --> 00:55:26.960
And so I believe that you'll be first in line for this marriage wave

1149
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:28.640
that's coming right now in 25.

1150
00:55:29.120 --> 00:55:31.040
And so Josh fits that for sure.

1151
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:37.240
Um, other people saying that they have been, um, Oh, because you're from PA,

1152
00:55:37.240 --> 00:55:39.360
people want to ask you Eagles or Rams.

1153
00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:40.480
I don't know why.

1154
00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:41.560
What's the Rams mean?

1155
00:55:42.200 --> 00:55:44.720
Rams are not PA, but definitely an Eagles fan.

1156
00:55:44.720 --> 00:55:48.120
My whole life, super excited about this last Superbowl.

1157
00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:51.080
Oh, maybe because where you live now, Los Angeles Rams.

1158
00:55:51.080 --> 00:55:51.240
Yeah.

1159
00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:52.040
Oh yes.

1160
00:55:52.040 --> 00:55:52.800
That would make sense.

1161
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:54.440
No, I am not a Rams fan.

1162
00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:55.000
Okay.

1163
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:58.400
Not a Rams Eagles all the way y'all any plans to travel

1164
00:55:58.400 --> 00:55:59.560
anywhere soon?

1165
00:56:01.080 --> 00:56:04.480
Actually, no, I've, I've been turning down travel plans.

1166
00:56:04.560 --> 00:56:08.040
Um, just cause I'm, I'm kind of, yeah, just really tied

1167
00:56:08.040 --> 00:56:09.080
down with school and stuff.

1168
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:12.760
Um, my brother is in Taiwan with his family.

1169
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:15.920
I'll probably go there next to visit my brother and nieces and

1170
00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:16.920
nephews at some point.

1171
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:18.360
Okay.

1172
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:19.800
Taiwan is he missionary?

1173
00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:21.280
Okay.

1174
00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:22.880
The runs in the family, it runs deep.

1175
00:56:23.080 --> 00:56:23.960
It runs in the family.

1176
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:25.720
I know this guy in real life.

1177
00:56:25.720 --> 00:56:27.160
He's an awesome guy.

1178
00:56:27.320 --> 00:56:31.040
Wonderful, a wonderful heart, funny, fun.

1179
00:56:31.040 --> 00:56:34.040
And so if you want to know more about Josh Redding, you're going

1180
00:56:34.040 --> 00:56:35.640
to put that in the subject line.

1181
00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:36.920
Wants to have a family.

1182
00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:38.120
Hasn't done any of that yet.

1183
00:56:38.120 --> 00:56:39.040
Married family.

1184
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:40.200
It's his time.

1185
00:56:40.200 --> 00:56:42.880
And so if you think that you're the one for Josh, you want an

1186
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.080
introduction, please let us know.

1187
00:56:45.240 --> 00:56:46.520
Josh, thanks so much for being here.

1188
00:56:46.560 --> 00:56:47.120
I appreciate it.

1189
00:56:47.160 --> 00:56:47.920
Thank you, Jackie.

1190
00:56:49.560 --> 00:56:50.320
Okay.

1191
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:51.480
You guys were having fun.

1192
00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:53.160
You guys, we're going to start going a little faster.

1193
00:56:53.160 --> 00:56:55.400
Get your questions ready for these guys, please.

1194
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:56.760
And be ready to go.

1195
00:56:57.600 --> 00:56:58.360
Important.

1196
00:56:58.800 --> 00:56:59.200
All right.

1197
00:56:59.240 --> 00:57:04.520
I'm going to go to a Texas guy up in Dallas, Andrew, you're up.

1198
00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:05.680
Hi, Andrew.

1199
00:57:05.680 --> 00:57:06.440
It's good to see you.

1200
00:57:07.080 --> 00:57:08.000
Hey, good to see you.

1201
00:57:09.120 --> 00:57:09.400
Yeah.

1202
00:57:09.440 --> 00:57:09.800
All right.

1203
00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:13.640
So you know, the drill, just your age, you know, your marital status.

1204
00:57:13.680 --> 00:57:16.920
Uh, if there's any kids in the mix and then some fun facts.

1205
00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:17.640
Sure.

1206
00:57:17.640 --> 00:57:17.960
Thanks.

1207
00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:20.920
So I'm 34 living in the Dallas Fort worth area.

1208
00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:26.000
Uh, grew up in Muskoota, Illinois, lived in Wyoming for about 11 years.

1209
00:57:26.520 --> 00:57:28.880
And then moved down here to Dallas two years ago.

1210
00:57:29.200 --> 00:57:31.800
I am divorced about four years now, but no kids.

1211
00:57:32.240 --> 00:57:34.680
And then, uh, fun facts.

1212
00:57:34.720 --> 00:57:36.200
Uh, I've fought wildfires.

1213
00:57:36.200 --> 00:57:38.840
I've trained Mustangs and I've published nine books.

1214
00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:40.520
Wow.

1215
00:57:40.520 --> 00:57:42.240
What are the books about all kinds of different things?

1216
00:57:42.600 --> 00:57:43.040
Yeah.

1217
00:57:43.080 --> 00:57:48.200
Um, there's three children's stories based off of some of those horses I trained.

1218
00:57:48.680 --> 00:57:52.920
I've got four historical fictions and then one, uh, devotional

1219
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:54.120
for wildland firefighters.

1220
00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:55.280
Oh my gosh.

1221
00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:56.400
I think I know a match for you.

1222
00:57:58.200 --> 00:58:00.600
I think I, I think I might know a match for you.

1223
00:58:00.640 --> 00:58:01.000
Okay.

1224
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:03.040
Um, ladies, that doesn't mean don't write in.

1225
00:58:03.080 --> 00:58:06.800
I'm just saying there's something coming to the matchmaker to her, to her, to

1226
00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:08.920
her heart, to her head, but it doesn't mean it's going to stick.

1227
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:09.680
Don't worry about it.

1228
00:58:10.080 --> 00:58:11.280
Um, firefighting.

1229
00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:12.600
What, what, what's that all about?

1230
00:58:12.600 --> 00:58:13.960
Where did you fight those fires at?

1231
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:14.680
Yeah.

1232
00:58:14.680 --> 00:58:15.480
So it started out.

1233
00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:18.520
I was in a lookout tower in Wyoming, living that life for a

1234
00:58:18.520 --> 00:58:20.680
summer, a transition to an engine.

1235
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:26.040
Um, it's all been wildland fire and then, uh, ended up doing incident

1236
00:58:26.040 --> 00:58:30.520
command logistics for major national wildfires, um, which is now

1237
00:58:30.520 --> 00:58:34.400
transitioning into a disaster response nonprofit that's being started.

1238
00:58:35.240 --> 00:58:35.920
Wow.

1239
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:37.120
That's amazing.

1240
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:38.640
That is amazing.

1241
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:41.400
All right, you guys, uh, this is Andrew.

1242
00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:42.800
What are your questions for him?

1243
00:58:43.200 --> 00:58:44.120
So interesting.

1244
00:58:44.120 --> 00:58:45.560
Live such an interesting life.

1245
00:58:46.160 --> 00:58:47.960
Um, what did you learn from your divorce, Andrew?

1246
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:48.920
That's a question for me.

1247
00:58:48.920 --> 00:58:50.480
That's what I always ask divorce people.

1248
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:51.080
What did you learn?

1249
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:55.680
Yeah, I prioritized my wife over my relationship with God.

1250
00:58:55.920 --> 00:59:01.000
And she drew that attention until I couldn't give it enough.

1251
00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:04.800
Or if I would have focused on my relationship with Christ, um, the

1252
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:08.200
outflow would have been at least a better relationship.

1253
00:59:09.040 --> 00:59:09.640
Gotcha.

1254
00:59:10.080 --> 00:59:14.560
Got you guys, uh, anxious, anxious, and, uh, anxious and secure

1255
00:59:14.560 --> 00:59:16.440
attachers usually do find each other.

1256
00:59:16.920 --> 00:59:17.240
Right.

1257
00:59:17.240 --> 00:59:18.360
So we need to be careful.

1258
00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:22.400
Once again, what he's basically saying is, is that we need to know

1259
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:24.160
that we can never be anyone's source.

1260
00:59:25.080 --> 00:59:26.240
God alone is the source.

1261
00:59:26.240 --> 00:59:27.400
We're just a resource.

1262
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:30.200
And so it's important to remember that in relationship, actually, I was

1263
00:59:30.200 --> 00:59:33.560
going to make it a, not a tick talk, but on Instagram about this today,

1264
00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:37.640
that, you know, the reason why there's not the one, write this down.

1265
00:59:37.720 --> 00:59:39.000
It's a little nugget for you guys.

1266
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:40.440
And I will put it on my social media.

1267
00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:43.520
I was thinking about this and I wanted to share with you guys because

1268
00:59:43.520 --> 00:59:47.160
there's not the one, all right, just like the perfect person for you.

1269
00:59:47.520 --> 00:59:51.120
The, the twin, the spirit twin, you know, where they're just exactly like

1270
00:59:51.120 --> 00:59:52.120
what you're looking for and all of them.

1271
00:59:52.120 --> 00:59:56.360
There's not the one, the destiny, there's not that, but also you're

1272
00:59:56.360 --> 00:59:59.960
not supposed to try to put all of your needs in other.

1273
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.160
humans on one person, they're not going to be your end all be all, you still need other people in

1274
01:00:04.160 --> 01:00:08.160
your life, right? You still need community. You still need friendships. You still need,

1275
01:00:08.160 --> 01:00:13.040
you can't expect one person to fulfill all of your needs socially, emotionally, mentally,

1276
01:00:13.040 --> 01:00:17.120
spiritually. Now, the only thing that you are going to have to work on fulfilling each other

1277
01:00:17.120 --> 01:00:23.280
in is in the area of sexuality. Okay. They are going to be your only in the sex department,

1278
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:27.600
but that's going to be a work in progress. All those other areas, there are other people going

1279
01:00:27.600 --> 01:00:32.960
to be involved in your life. And of course, God is source, but he's the head of the human resource

1280
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:38.480
department and he will send human resources to help fill those buckets, right? Really important.

1281
01:00:38.480 --> 01:00:44.320
All right. As a firefighter, can you cook? They want to know. I can do a few meals. Yeah. You

1282
01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:50.720
want to tell us what those are? My best one, I actually cooked a brisket in the ground while I

1283
01:00:50.720 --> 01:00:58.560
was out at a wildfire, but I can do some grilling, like doing breakfast and burgers, but

1284
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:04.720
pretty simple. Guys, we have some great guys tonight. He cooked meat in the ground. Okay.

1285
01:01:04.720 --> 01:01:10.960
Fought fires. He's written books for kids and trained horses and all kinds of amazing things.

1286
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:17.840
Loves Jesus. We will, we'll put those up names of books and stuff. We'll get those up for you guys.

1287
01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:22.720
If you guys want links to that stuff. Yes. Very impressive. All right. Let's see.

1288
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:28.880
First get in the ground. Mike drop. All right. What else? What other questions you guys have

1289
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:34.560
for you live in the Metroplex? You live in Dallas or Fort Worth? I I'm in between both of them

1290
01:01:34.560 --> 01:01:38.000
South about 20 minutes. I forgot to mention that I'm also a graduate of school kingdom.

1291
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:43.920
Oh, awesome. Yeah. Cause he's up there, right? He's up. He's an Amarillo. I've known him for

1292
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:50.720
going on 10 years now. Yeah, that makes sense. So once again, ladies, you're not going to be

1293
01:01:50.720 --> 01:01:55.120
the right match for Andrew. If you want him to be your all in all, because you need Jesus to

1294
01:01:55.920 --> 01:01:58.960
also, you're not going to be the right match. If you're not wanting to grow,

1295
01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:03.680
if you're not wanting to grow personally and spiritually, if you've just kind of feel like

1296
01:02:03.680 --> 01:02:08.720
you already are to the, to the highest Mark that you're going to get to that is not going to be

1297
01:02:08.720 --> 01:02:12.400
right. Do you want, do you want children, Andrew? You said you don't, I do want children and I'm

1298
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:18.080
fine with other children in the mix, but one of my own, at least the ideal, of course, ideal.

1299
01:02:18.080 --> 01:02:25.440
And can you remind everyone how old you are again? 34, 34 on the younger side is 34. It's ready.

1300
01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:31.600
It's ready to, to meet his spirit mate. He's in Dallas. And, um, did you tell us what you're

1301
01:02:31.600 --> 01:02:36.000
doing right now? Like for a living besides fighting fires is you, are you like a professional

1302
01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:41.360
firefighter right now? No, not currently. I am working on getting back into wildland fire, but,

1303
01:02:41.360 --> 01:02:46.800
um, current political state has stuff in flux. Um, so I'm cleaning pools to pay bills right now.

1304
01:02:46.800 --> 01:02:51.600
And then, uh, starting that nonprofit and our first meeting is next week.

1305
01:02:52.240 --> 01:02:56.720
Awesome. So in ministry and also an entrepreneur in nonprofit work, you guys,

1306
01:02:57.760 --> 01:03:02.080
that's going to be another necessity for this match is that you're going to be flexible and

1307
01:03:02.080 --> 01:03:08.320
open-minded and, and willing to do what God is leading you to do together. You guys remember God

1308
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:12.640
frequently does not give assignments until we're partnered.

1309
01:03:13.360 --> 01:03:17.520
Like, uh, like bigger assignments. Cause it's not a one-person job. It's a two-person job.

1310
01:03:17.520 --> 01:03:20.960
And a lot of times we don't see those assignments coming until we're partnered.

1311
01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:25.200
And it's really important when you partner that you're just really open to whatever God unlocks

1312
01:03:25.200 --> 01:03:29.920
and unseals after partnership. It's really important for that to happen. All right. I love

1313
01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:35.200
that. All right, Andrew, thanks so much. You guys are gonna put Andrew Dallas in the subject line.

1314
01:03:35.200 --> 01:03:39.360
If you think that you're a great introduction guys, or if you know anyone that would be a great

1315
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:43.200
introduction, even if they're not in this community, I believe what we help make happen for

1316
01:03:43.200 --> 01:03:48.160
others. God makes happen for us. And so if you know someone that you think would be a great

1317
01:03:48.160 --> 01:03:53.280
introduction for any of these guys or girls, please email us about your friend as well.

1318
01:03:54.160 --> 01:03:58.240
That is how a lot of matches have happened in this community. All right. I'm going to start

1319
01:03:58.240 --> 01:04:03.280
trying to move a little bit faster here. My computer won't let me bring people's names up.

1320
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:09.520
So I got to scroll. All right. Next. Another one of my favorites, another mission. You guys,

1321
01:04:09.520 --> 01:04:17.680
we hit the missionary jackpot tonight. All right. Next up is Greg with two Gs. Check it. Hey, friend.

1322
01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:26.400
Hi. So good to see you. Yeah, you too. Good to be here. Now there's so many, just like,

1323
01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:29.360
just like a lot of the guys that have gone already. There's so many interesting things

1324
01:04:29.360 --> 01:04:35.360
to tell about you. So let's just keep it to three or four interesting fun facts. Tell them your name,

1325
01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:41.920
your age, where you used to live, where you live now, and then some of those fun things about you.

1326
01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:50.800
Sure. Yeah. So my name is Greg Montella. I live in Athens, Ohio. I am a very youthful 47 years old.

1327
01:04:52.160 --> 01:04:59.200
Never married. No kids. Would love to have both. I hit the mission field right out of Bible school

1328
01:04:59.200 --> 01:04:59.920
actually, David.

1329
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:01.820
I went to the same church for a while.

1330
01:05:01.820 --> 01:05:02.800
You're David.

1331
01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:04.160
Yes, I know.

1332
01:05:04.160 --> 01:05:06.720
Yeah, small world.

1333
01:05:06.720 --> 01:05:09.040
And I thought I was,

1334
01:05:09.040 --> 01:05:12.080
so I started a humanitarian organization

1335
01:05:12.080 --> 01:05:13.480
that was based in Eastern Europe

1336
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:15.080
and I thought I would be wrapping it up

1337
01:05:15.080 --> 01:05:18.740
and just as I was wrapping it up to retire,

1338
01:05:18.740 --> 01:05:21.580
the full-scale invasion of Ukraine happened by Russia

1339
01:05:21.580 --> 01:05:23.760
and I was there, I was there.

1340
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:26.900
So I would say I got stuck, but I wasn't stuck.

1341
01:05:26.900 --> 01:05:29.480
It was like everything in my life that never ever made sense

1342
01:05:29.500 --> 01:05:32.420
including never marrying or having kids,

1343
01:05:32.420 --> 01:05:33.900
it all made sense suddenly

1344
01:05:33.900 --> 01:05:36.940
and our teams were able to do amazing things.

1345
01:05:36.940 --> 01:05:38.700
I'm still heavily involved there.

1346
01:05:39.740 --> 01:05:43.380
We take care of a village of about 2000 grandmothers

1347
01:05:43.380 --> 01:05:45.080
that are cut off from the rest of the world.

1348
01:05:45.080 --> 01:05:46.860
We're the only organization that's crazy enough

1349
01:05:46.860 --> 01:05:48.840
to go in there and feed them.

1350
01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:51.260
So we partner with Samaritan's Purse on that.

1351
01:05:51.260 --> 01:05:54.460
But I am based here in the United States

1352
01:05:54.460 --> 01:05:56.780
for fun and for a little extra money.

1353
01:05:56.800 --> 01:06:00.480
I don't take a salary from the nonprofit or the ministry.

1354
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:02.640
I speak almost every Sunday in churches

1355
01:06:02.640 --> 01:06:05.960
and I love it talking about Jesus and how good God is.

1356
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:09.300
But for fun and for money across the street,

1357
01:06:09.300 --> 01:06:12.500
I am opening a coffee shop and a bakery.

1358
01:06:12.500 --> 01:06:14.480
So that's in the works.

1359
01:06:15.560 --> 01:06:18.840
I love seeing impossible things happen

1360
01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:20.080
and dead things come to life.

1361
01:06:20.080 --> 01:06:24.240
So I've purchased most of the buildings on this street.

1362
01:06:24.620 --> 01:06:25.620
It's just a defunct,

1363
01:06:25.620 --> 01:06:28.380
like old traditional American Main Street.

1364
01:06:28.380 --> 01:06:31.900
So with these hands and a few friends of mine,

1365
01:06:31.900 --> 01:06:33.380
we're just bringing them back to life.

1366
01:06:33.380 --> 01:06:36.120
So that's what's keeping me busy here stateside

1367
01:06:36.120 --> 01:06:38.220
and overseeing our work overseas.

1368
01:06:39.520 --> 01:06:40.580
I love it so much.

1369
01:06:40.580 --> 01:06:42.700
I love the work that they've done overseas.

1370
01:06:42.700 --> 01:06:44.460
You guys, it's incredible when you see it,

1371
01:06:44.460 --> 01:06:45.340
when you read about it.

1372
01:06:45.340 --> 01:06:46.420
I've donated to it.

1373
01:06:46.420 --> 01:06:49.620
It's really amazing.

1374
01:06:49.620 --> 01:06:52.620
A lot of people help the usual suspects,

1375
01:06:52.620 --> 01:06:53.540
let's just say that,

1376
01:06:53.720 --> 01:06:56.600
people that are in need that a lot of people help.

1377
01:06:56.600 --> 01:06:58.360
And Greg, their organization,

1378
01:06:58.360 --> 01:07:01.840
they're helping truly the widow and the orphan

1379
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:04.960
in ways that I have never thought of before.

1380
01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:08.080
And so such a God thing and I love it so much.

1381
01:07:08.080 --> 01:07:09.600
Yes, very youthful.

1382
01:07:09.600 --> 01:07:13.000
All of us, you guys, all of us Gen Xers, we look good.

1383
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:16.160
We're aging like fine wine, don't you know?

1384
01:07:16.160 --> 01:07:17.920
Okay, beautiful eyes.

1385
01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:22.920
Lots of people saying good things about your looks there.

1386
01:07:23.220 --> 01:07:24.140
So that's fun.

1387
01:07:24.140 --> 01:07:25.420
Do you guys have any questions?

1388
01:07:25.420 --> 01:07:26.700
Are you just flattering now?

1389
01:07:26.700 --> 01:07:27.740
What are we doing?

1390
01:07:27.740 --> 01:07:29.540
Any more questions?

1391
01:07:29.540 --> 01:07:33.100
Entrepreneur opening that bakery and coffee shop.

1392
01:07:33.100 --> 01:07:34.140
I love that idea.

1393
01:07:34.140 --> 01:07:36.960
Athens, that's College Town.

1394
01:07:37.860 --> 01:07:38.820
Yeah, it is.

1395
01:07:38.820 --> 01:07:39.660
That's right.

1396
01:07:40.980 --> 01:07:43.980
Yeah, owning those buildings on that street,

1397
01:07:43.980 --> 01:07:45.580
that's gonna be huge.

1398
01:07:45.580 --> 01:07:46.420
It's gonna be great.

1399
01:07:46.420 --> 01:07:47.240
I love that.

1400
01:07:47.240 --> 01:07:48.640
All right, so no plans on going back

1401
01:07:48.640 --> 01:07:51.300
to live overseas right now, right?

1402
01:07:51.360 --> 01:07:53.880
No plans, I'm open to it for sure.

1403
01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:56.060
I mean, that's the dream of every missionary at heart

1404
01:07:56.060 --> 01:07:57.760
is to at least be able to do that.

1405
01:07:57.760 --> 01:08:00.440
But I have a nest here, building a nest.

1406
01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:04.600
This is 130 year old Victorian home that was falling apart

1407
01:08:04.600 --> 01:08:06.760
and we're getting it fixed up.

1408
01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:09.720
So I'm stuck here for a little bit.

1409
01:08:09.720 --> 01:08:13.840
My father passed away about a year and a half into the war.

1410
01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:16.140
And so I'm taking care of my mom and my grandmother

1411
01:08:16.140 --> 01:08:18.359
who both widowed within the same year.

1412
01:08:19.100 --> 01:08:21.939
So I'm taking care of them too.

1413
01:08:21.939 --> 01:08:23.420
Yeah, that's amazing.

1414
01:08:23.420 --> 01:08:25.580
So for those of you that are talking about relocation,

1415
01:08:25.580 --> 01:08:28.620
not right now, right now his assignment is where he is.

1416
01:08:28.620 --> 01:08:30.620
And so he's gonna be there for a while.

1417
01:08:30.620 --> 01:08:34.340
What about your kids?

1418
01:08:34.340 --> 01:08:35.700
You want children, correct?

1419
01:08:35.700 --> 01:08:37.380
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

1420
01:08:37.380 --> 01:08:40.220
All right, people wanna know if you have any pets?

1421
01:08:40.220 --> 01:08:42.779
I don't, I'm open to it.

1422
01:08:42.779 --> 01:08:45.180
But I don't have any pets right now.

1423
01:08:45.200 --> 01:08:48.560
I was traveling too much to even have a house plant.

1424
01:08:48.560 --> 01:08:49.960
That's changed a little bit.

1425
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:53.800
Yes, what about your,

1426
01:08:53.800 --> 01:08:55.399
people wanna know what your favorite coffee drink is.

1427
01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:56.319
You're open to coffee shop.

1428
01:08:56.319 --> 01:08:58.359
They wanna know what your go-to for coffee is.

1429
01:08:58.359 --> 01:09:00.120
Yeah, I don't think there's really a name for it.

1430
01:09:00.120 --> 01:09:04.000
I like a Ristretto, which is a pressed espresso

1431
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:06.200
that has a little less caffeine, more fruity flavor

1432
01:09:06.200 --> 01:09:10.700
with a drop of chocolate in it and some whole milk,

1433
01:09:10.700 --> 01:09:14.000
just a little bit shot of flavorful caffeine.

1434
01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:15.160
Gets me going.

1435
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:16.840
I've never heard of that before.

1436
01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:17.660
That sounds great.

1437
01:09:18.540 --> 01:09:19.859
That sounds awesome.

1438
01:09:19.859 --> 01:09:20.920
Any plants?

1439
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:22.660
These questions are too much.

1440
01:09:23.620 --> 01:09:25.100
Any plans or plants?

1441
01:09:25.100 --> 01:09:26.819
Do you have any plants?

1442
01:09:26.819 --> 01:09:29.760
Plants, I have, yeah, I actually,

1443
01:09:29.760 --> 01:09:34.700
I have a poinsettia that I haven't taken outside.

1444
01:09:34.700 --> 01:09:35.979
I don't know what you're supposed to do with that.

1445
01:09:35.979 --> 01:09:37.220
So I'm just holding onto it,

1446
01:09:37.220 --> 01:09:38.939
keeping it alive as long as it'll-

1447
01:09:38.939 --> 01:09:41.300
I didn't know that they, I think that's amazing.

1448
01:09:41.300 --> 01:09:43.180
I thought that they just died at Christmas time.

1449
01:09:43.180 --> 01:09:46.479
Mine all do, mine die right after the day of Christmas.

1450
01:09:46.479 --> 01:09:48.160
They're all dead, so.

1451
01:09:48.160 --> 01:09:49.200
Yeah, it's holding on.

1452
01:09:49.200 --> 01:09:52.319
I don't know what the deal is, so I might transplant it.

1453
01:09:52.319 --> 01:09:54.760
You resurrected it, that's what happened.

1454
01:09:54.760 --> 01:09:56.800
That's right, someone resurrected it.

1455
01:09:56.800 --> 01:10:00.200
So you guys, Greg with two Gs in Ohio.

1456
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:05.000
Ohio. That is my husband's hometown, kind of my hometown. I don't want to claim it,

1457
01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:11.840
but I will anyway. Um, so if you want to hear more about Greg in Athens, Ohio, please email

1458
01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:17.080
us. Remember, um, guys got to make sure you're listening to what these men are saying about

1459
01:10:17.080 --> 01:10:21.300
themselves. Once again, you know, this guy is on assignment right now with family and

1460
01:10:21.300 --> 01:10:27.360
taking care of business. He's an entrepreneur, but also he is a, a ministry minded, missionary

1461
01:10:27.360 --> 01:10:33.460
minded man. And so at any moment, God could pull his draft card and he could be gone.

1462
01:10:33.460 --> 01:10:37.620
So we just don't know. And so you have to be an open-minded person who is ready to do

1463
01:10:37.620 --> 01:10:42.020
whatever it is that God would call him to do. And so if you think that you'd be a good

1464
01:10:42.020 --> 01:10:45.620
intro for him, please let us know. Greg, thank you so much. It's always good to see you bake

1465
01:10:45.620 --> 01:10:53.220
your cookies. Oh, you will. Did you make that? I did actually. Oh yeah. You and David Norman,

1466
01:10:53.220 --> 01:10:57.260
he can bake some cookies. Hey, that's great. We've got to have a cookie night sometime.

1467
01:10:58.160 --> 01:11:02.000
For sure. And what is that? Is that milk? Is it lactose milk? What kind of milk is that?

1468
01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:08.920
This is a homemade almond milk. So I, I take the nuts myself and I have a machine. I get

1469
01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:15.960
my own almond milk. You have the almond cow? I do. I do. Yes. That's great. Isn't it? And

1470
01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:21.920
guess who makes the almond milk in our family? You, David, David. All right, David, man,

1471
01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:27.180
we're buds. Yep. You guys brothers from another mother. Okay. You guys, Greg, if you want

1472
01:11:27.180 --> 01:11:31.580
to know more about him, email us, I'm just trying to figure out how to unspotlight you.

1473
01:11:31.580 --> 01:11:34.300
There you go. All right, Greg, thank you so much for joining us. You guys, I'm having

1474
01:11:34.300 --> 01:11:40.980
way too, I'm having way too much fun. All right. I convinced this great next guy to

1475
01:11:40.980 --> 01:11:56.340
come and join us. Hold on a second here. Um, you guys, it's not letting me search and

1476
01:11:56.340 --> 01:12:01.040
the it department doesn't know how to fix it, which is David who's sitting right here

1477
01:12:01.040 --> 01:12:09.520
and like, he doesn't know how to fix it and neither do I. All right, let's see. I am looking

1478
01:12:09.520 --> 01:12:18.260
for Matt. I don't know if he's here or not. If this isn't him, that's okay. It is. Hey,

1479
01:12:18.260 --> 01:12:22.660
all right. Didn't put the city and state in the description. That's fine. You guys, this

1480
01:12:22.660 --> 01:12:29.500
is Matthew. Um, and you are from where we want to know your name and your age and where

1481
01:12:29.500 --> 01:12:35.140
you're from originally, where you live now. And some fun, just a fun fact about you. Okay.

1482
01:12:35.140 --> 01:12:43.480
So my name is Matthew. Um, I am from Jennison, Michigan, uh, which is a suburb of Grand Rapids.

1483
01:12:43.480 --> 01:12:50.600
Um, as far as like the marital status stuff, I was married for 26 years. I've been divorced

1484
01:12:50.600 --> 01:12:58.160
for three. Um, I have a 21 year old son. That's amazing. Uh, he's does still live with me,

1485
01:12:58.160 --> 01:13:06.860
but he is, uh, gainfully employed. So not a sponging off dad with that. But, um, I guess

1486
01:13:06.860 --> 01:13:14.180
my for fun facts or my passions have to do with music. Um, I went to school for music.

1487
01:13:14.180 --> 01:13:19.660
It's hard to make a living at music. So I have a day job, uh, where I do purchasing

1488
01:13:19.660 --> 01:13:28.200
for a music retail company, but, um, I do, uh, lead worship some I've been on worship

1489
01:13:28.200 --> 01:13:35.800
teams since I was 12. And I'm not sure if I said this in the beginning, but I'm 54.

1490
01:13:35.800 --> 01:13:42.240
Um, and, uh, I like to write too. I know there was somebody that wrote nine books. I've only

1491
01:13:42.240 --> 01:13:47.320
written one, but I did write one and it's for new believers. And, um, I have a passion

1492
01:13:47.320 --> 01:13:54.300
for the gospel and, um, the whole discipleship thing, um, and trying to help people out in

1493
01:13:54.300 --> 01:13:59.340
that regard. I love that. So your book is for new believers, like a book that helps

1494
01:13:59.340 --> 01:14:04.820
people be discipled. Yeah. The title of the book is called, it's more than just a prayer.

1495
01:14:04.820 --> 01:14:11.220
Um, I grew up in the evangelical world, um, at least from 14 on. Um, and there's a lot

1496
01:14:11.220 --> 01:14:16.100
of stuff in church where I call it the, who wants to go to heaven, raise your hand prayer.

1497
01:14:16.100 --> 01:14:22.720
And, um, even though I'm all about, um, evangelical, evangelical community and, and, um, call

1498
01:14:22.720 --> 01:14:29.400
to action, um, there's a lot of, uh, lack of followup in the circles I've been in at

1499
01:14:29.400 --> 01:14:38.280
least. And, um, I, I took some Bible classes, but the book started before the Bible classes,

1500
01:14:38.280 --> 01:14:43.960
but it's, some of it came down to my, my son felt called to ministry a few years back and

1501
01:14:43.980 --> 01:14:49.460
he grew up in church and I asked him just to define what Christianity was or what his

1502
01:14:49.460 --> 01:14:54.260
faith was. And he, he really couldn't verbalize it. And I almost took that on as a challenge

1503
01:14:54.260 --> 01:14:59.460
with myself and thought, well, I'm not going door to door, knocking on doors, evangelizing

1504
01:14:59.460 --> 01:14:59.820
either.

1505
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:02.260
Or could I even say what my faith was?

1506
01:15:02.260 --> 01:15:06.120
And the result of it ended up being a book.

1507
01:15:06.120 --> 01:15:06.880
I love that.

1508
01:15:06.880 --> 01:15:07.520
That's so great.

1509
01:15:07.520 --> 01:15:08.220
And you're right.

1510
01:15:08.220 --> 01:15:11.280
So many people, they have that point of contact

1511
01:15:11.280 --> 01:15:13.520
with the gospel, but then they're never really discipled

1512
01:15:13.520 --> 01:15:14.960
and it's such a need.

1513
01:15:14.960 --> 01:15:17.120
People are wanting to know, do you play an instrument?

1514
01:15:17.120 --> 01:15:17.760
If so, what?

1515
01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:19.880
Do you sing?

1516
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:27.000
Yeah, so my origin or starting was on piano.

1517
01:15:27.000 --> 01:15:30.520
When I was young, my mom taught me how to play piano.

1518
01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:35.320
I got involved with drums in a school band program.

1519
01:15:35.320 --> 01:15:40.400
My passion has been mainly drums since then.

1520
01:15:40.400 --> 01:15:44.600
So from age 12 on, that's what I went to college

1521
01:15:44.600 --> 01:15:48.360
for was percussion and drums.

1522
01:15:48.360 --> 01:15:49.240
I love to sing.

1523
01:15:49.240 --> 01:15:51.760
I love to write music.

1524
01:15:51.760 --> 01:15:55.960
So I find myself more sitting at my piano singing and writing

1525
01:15:55.960 --> 01:16:01.560
and recording now than playing my drums, though I still do.

1526
01:16:01.560 --> 01:16:04.400
Sometimes I actually lead worship from drums.

1527
01:16:04.400 --> 01:16:06.000
Oh, that's awesome.

1528
01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:06.500
Let's see.

1529
01:16:06.500 --> 01:16:07.440
Phil Collins.

1530
01:16:07.440 --> 01:16:08.800
Who else?

1531
01:16:08.800 --> 01:16:10.400
I'm trying to think.

1532
01:16:10.400 --> 01:16:11.280
There's not a lot.

1533
01:16:11.280 --> 01:16:14.320
It's actually kind of an inconvenient instrument

1534
01:16:14.320 --> 01:16:18.000
to lead from, but it's easier to find piano players

1535
01:16:18.000 --> 01:16:20.360
than drummers, so it's kind of a default.

1536
01:16:20.360 --> 01:16:20.960
Oh, gosh.

1537
01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:21.640
That's so true.

1538
01:16:21.640 --> 01:16:22.720
My husband's a music guy.

1539
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:24.200
You guys would get along so well.

1540
01:16:24.280 --> 01:16:25.800
I just saw the Eagles in concert.

1541
01:16:25.800 --> 01:16:28.360
Don Henley led some songs from the drums.

1542
01:16:28.360 --> 01:16:31.800
And even at 80 years old, dude's still rocking it,

1543
01:16:31.800 --> 01:16:33.520
and it was really cool.

1544
01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:38.080
So your passion is music, ladies.

1545
01:16:38.080 --> 01:16:39.280
So his passion is music.

1546
01:16:39.280 --> 01:16:40.280
You don't have to be musical.

1547
01:16:40.280 --> 01:16:41.960
You're not looking for a musical woman,

1548
01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:45.640
but you're probably looking for someone who enjoys music, right?

1549
01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:49.880
Yeah, I think for the most part, I definitely

1550
01:16:49.880 --> 01:16:54.520
feel a calling on my life that's ministry-related,

1551
01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:58.760
and music has definitely been a part of that in my life.

1552
01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:03.440
And I have some friends that are very encouraging.

1553
01:17:03.440 --> 01:17:06.680
I would never expect somebody to say they like my music

1554
01:17:06.680 --> 01:17:08.840
if they don't like it, but you would

1555
01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:11.200
hope that your spouse would like what you're doing

1556
01:17:11.200 --> 01:17:14.000
and be supportive of it.

1557
01:17:14.040 --> 01:17:20.720
But I've gotten into some teaching,

1558
01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:24.560
and just like with writing the book and all that,

1559
01:17:24.560 --> 01:17:30.680
that's something I see down the road more ministry than even,

1560
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:32.320
I guess, what I've done in the past.

1561
01:17:32.320 --> 01:17:34.600
I've done a lot on worship teams,

1562
01:17:34.600 --> 01:17:38.320
but I think God has bigger plans for me.

1563
01:17:38.320 --> 01:17:41.080
Absolutely, and I think that's a two-person plan.

1564
01:17:41.080 --> 01:17:45.280
And so we're excited to hopefully introduce you

1565
01:17:45.280 --> 01:17:49.040
to some great candidates for that open spot on the worship

1566
01:17:49.040 --> 01:17:50.600
team.

1567
01:17:50.600 --> 01:17:52.280
Let's see where Grand Rapids.

1568
01:17:52.280 --> 01:17:53.480
You're close to Grand Rapids.

1569
01:17:53.480 --> 01:17:54.680
Is that where you're close to?

1570
01:17:54.680 --> 01:17:56.000
People are asking that.

1571
01:17:56.000 --> 01:17:58.160
Yeah, correct.

1572
01:17:58.160 --> 01:18:02.040
And then also, are you open to someone who has children?

1573
01:18:02.040 --> 01:18:04.520
I know that you would like to date locally, right?

1574
01:18:04.520 --> 01:18:06.360
You would like to meet someone who

1575
01:18:06.360 --> 01:18:09.880
is somewhere in your vicinity.

1576
01:18:09.880 --> 01:18:12.360
Yeah, I've tried the long-distance thing.

1577
01:18:12.360 --> 01:18:20.160
It's very difficult. I don't see moving in the near future.

1578
01:18:20.160 --> 01:18:23.000
So I would like to find somebody that's

1579
01:18:23.000 --> 01:18:29.000
within at least a two-hour radius at the most.

1580
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:30.280
Can you re-ask the question?

1581
01:18:30.280 --> 01:18:32.680
I'm sorry.

1582
01:18:32.680 --> 01:18:34.360
Open to someone who's still raising kids?

1583
01:18:34.360 --> 01:18:35.960
I know your son's growing up.

1584
01:18:35.960 --> 01:18:39.080
Yeah, as far as kids go, I guess it

1585
01:18:40.040 --> 01:18:42.200
would depend on if she was the one.

1586
01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:47.000
I try to be open-minded.

1587
01:18:47.000 --> 01:18:51.560
Even at 54, I've had friends that have started.

1588
01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:53.920
I call them grandpa dads.

1589
01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:57.000
They've had kids in their 50s.

1590
01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:01.840
And if it was the right one, I can't

1591
01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:06.320
say that I've seen any visions of that, that I have more kids.

1592
01:19:06.320 --> 01:19:08.680
When I was younger, I wanted more kids.

1593
01:19:08.840 --> 01:19:10.840
But that's a long story.

1594
01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:15.560
So I have one, and one that I love with all my heart.

1595
01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:18.280
And he's a great kid.

1596
01:19:18.280 --> 01:19:19.960
And I mean, he's an adult.

1597
01:19:19.960 --> 01:19:26.760
But so I think if it was, I want to be very open-minded,

1598
01:19:26.760 --> 01:19:30.680
as far as if somebody wants to start from scratch

1599
01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:33.800
or already has kids.

1600
01:19:33.800 --> 01:19:36.520
And so I don't know if I said this or not.

1601
01:19:36.600 --> 01:19:40.360
But I have been divorced for three years.

1602
01:19:40.360 --> 01:19:42.280
I've been 54.

1603
01:19:42.280 --> 01:19:44.840
I was married when I was 24.

1604
01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:49.960
And so I'm used to being in a relationship.

1605
01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:51.800
But I've learned how to be single.

1606
01:19:51.800 --> 01:19:55.480
And there's value in that, learning and growing.

1607
01:19:55.480 --> 01:19:58.600
And there's things that I've done in these last three years

1608
01:19:58.600 --> 01:19:59.400
that I've probably

1609
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:04.920
I would not have done had I stayed married, so.

1610
01:20:04.920 --> 01:20:06.300
Yeah, no, it's great.

1611
01:20:06.300 --> 01:20:08.480
And I can tell by what you're saying

1612
01:20:08.480 --> 01:20:10.920
that you didn't choose to be unmarried

1613
01:20:10.920 --> 01:20:13.200
and it's not something you necessarily wanted.

1614
01:20:13.200 --> 01:20:14.040
Obviously, no one says,

1615
01:20:14.040 --> 01:20:15.800
when I grow up, I wanna be divorced.

1616
01:20:15.800 --> 01:20:17.720
But a lot of us are, including myself.

1617
01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:20.640
And so I'm glad that sounds like you have grown

1618
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:22.500
and learned some things through the ending

1619
01:20:22.500 --> 01:20:24.040
of that 26 year marriage.

1620
01:20:24.040 --> 01:20:25.720
That's a long time.

1621
01:20:25.720 --> 01:20:27.760
And that you're gonna make a great partner

1622
01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:30.680
for this next go round.

1623
01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:33.720
And so we're so happy to have you with us.

1624
01:20:33.720 --> 01:20:35.320
If you wanna meet Matthew in Michigan,

1625
01:20:35.320 --> 01:20:36.960
you're gonna put Matthew Michigan

1626
01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:39.680
in the subject line of your email.

1627
01:20:39.680 --> 01:20:42.680
All right, let's try to keep it, ladies,

1628
01:20:42.680 --> 01:20:44.560
within a little driving distance there.

1629
01:20:44.560 --> 01:20:46.600
So if you're in the Great Lakes area,

1630
01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:50.520
if you're anywhere within a decent drive,

1631
01:20:50.520 --> 01:20:54.200
then let's see about that first and foremost.

1632
01:20:54.200 --> 01:20:55.040
But if you're just like,

1633
01:20:55.040 --> 01:20:56.760
man, I just know I'm supposed to meet him.

1634
01:20:56.760 --> 01:20:58.120
Yes, I'm long distance.

1635
01:20:58.120 --> 01:21:00.160
Email us anyway, we'll see what's up.

1636
01:21:00.160 --> 01:21:01.760
All right, Matthew, thank you so much.

1637
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:03.240
Appreciate you being here.

1638
01:21:03.240 --> 01:21:04.880
Hope to see more of you.

1639
01:21:04.880 --> 01:21:07.560
Okay, and I just have a couple more guys

1640
01:21:07.560 --> 01:21:08.640
and then we forgot a lady.

1641
01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:09.900
We gotta get her in there.

1642
01:21:09.900 --> 01:21:13.000
So we're gonna go ahead and try to fast track

1643
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:15.080
the rest of this tonight, you guys.

1644
01:21:15.080 --> 01:21:19.120
I'd love us to be done here in the next 10-ish minutes.

1645
01:21:19.120 --> 01:21:21.240
So get your questions ready.

1646
01:21:21.240 --> 01:21:23.480
All right, guys, we're gonna keep you to name,

1647
01:21:23.480 --> 01:21:25.140
where you're from, where you live now,

1648
01:21:25.140 --> 01:21:27.780
and a fun fact, and then we'll let the ladies ask.

1649
01:21:27.780 --> 01:21:30.660
This is Brian, part of the Last Year Single community.

1650
01:21:30.660 --> 01:21:31.980
He's in Dallas.

1651
01:21:31.980 --> 01:21:33.620
Are you in Dallas or Fort Worth?

1652
01:21:33.620 --> 01:21:36.140
I'm just north of Dallas, like Frisco area.

1653
01:21:36.140 --> 01:21:37.300
Oh, Frisco, awesome.

1654
01:21:37.300 --> 01:21:38.620
Frisco area, yep.

1655
01:21:38.620 --> 01:21:41.300
Okay, so go ahead, tell us how old you are

1656
01:21:41.300 --> 01:21:44.420
and where you're from originally and fun fact.

1657
01:21:44.420 --> 01:21:46.700
Yeah, so I'm 36.

1658
01:21:46.700 --> 01:21:50.140
I was born in Buffalo, New York, go Bills.

1659
01:21:50.140 --> 01:21:53.140
And I was raised in Wisconsin.

1660
01:21:53.140 --> 01:21:55.380
That's where I grew up, central Wisconsin area.

1661
01:21:55.380 --> 01:21:59.520
And then I've been in Dallas area for 10 years,

1662
01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:02.380
came down here, got my undergrad,

1663
01:22:02.380 --> 01:22:04.380
and then I did my master's degree.

1664
01:22:04.380 --> 01:22:07.340
And then now I own a couple businesses.

1665
01:22:07.340 --> 01:22:08.420
I'm an insurance broker.

1666
01:22:08.420 --> 01:22:09.900
I own Brian Almond Insurance,

1667
01:22:09.900 --> 01:22:13.580
and I've been doing that now for four years.

1668
01:22:13.580 --> 01:22:15.700
We've been growing like crazy.

1669
01:22:15.700 --> 01:22:17.460
I work super remotely.

1670
01:22:17.460 --> 01:22:19.720
I just, anywhere I have a laptop, I work.

1671
01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:23.320
So I travel a ton, absolutely a ton.

1672
01:22:23.320 --> 01:22:26.800
So I did, I backpacked through Europe a few months ago.

1673
01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:29.040
I'm going to South America in a few weeks.

1674
01:22:29.040 --> 01:22:31.360
And then Philippines, I think this summer,

1675
01:22:31.360 --> 01:22:33.280
somewhere, Philippines probably.

1676
01:22:33.280 --> 01:22:36.680
So anywhere I have a laptop, I can work.

1677
01:22:36.680 --> 01:22:39.320
And so it's a lot of fun.

1678
01:22:39.320 --> 01:22:41.400
And yeah, I do that.

1679
01:22:41.400 --> 01:22:45.840
Other fun facts, I do open mic standup.

1680
01:22:45.840 --> 01:22:49.720
So I try to be funny when I can't be, you know?

1681
01:22:49.720 --> 01:22:53.080
So do open mics, do that.

1682
01:22:53.080 --> 01:22:54.040
I'm the fun uncle.

1683
01:22:54.040 --> 01:22:55.480
I got five nieces and nephews,

1684
01:22:55.480 --> 01:22:57.720
and I'm the uncle that flies in and hangs out,

1685
01:22:57.720 --> 01:22:59.180
spoils them, and then leaves.

1686
01:22:59.180 --> 01:23:00.400
And it's a good time.

1687
01:23:00.400 --> 01:23:01.740
That's probably my favorite title.

1688
01:23:01.740 --> 01:23:06.320
And then I've heard a lot today about like Dub

1689
01:23:06.320 --> 01:23:07.400
and Kingdom and all that.

1690
01:23:07.400 --> 01:23:09.100
So I'm kind of, I'm in that same stream.

1691
01:23:09.100 --> 01:23:10.920
I haven't been in the school,

1692
01:23:10.920 --> 01:23:13.020
but Damon Thompson's my pastor,

1693
01:23:13.020 --> 01:23:14.680
if that makes any sense to anybody.

1694
01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:18.600
So, but yeah, no, I'm glad to be here.

1695
01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:19.440
This is a lot of fun.

1696
01:23:19.440 --> 01:23:22.720
And so, yeah, those are, that's my fun facts.

1697
01:23:22.720 --> 01:23:23.800
Can you do an impression?

1698
01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:26.520
Someone says they think you can do an impression of us.

1699
01:23:26.520 --> 01:23:29.180
So this is probably the most embarrassing impression

1700
01:23:29.180 --> 01:23:30.020
I can do.

1701
01:23:30.020 --> 01:23:31.040
I don't even know if I want to do it,

1702
01:23:31.040 --> 01:23:34.000
but I used to do, do you know Jennifer Coolidge?

1703
01:23:34.000 --> 01:23:36.540
Yeah, I love Jennifer Coolidge.

1704
01:23:36.540 --> 01:23:39.080
Oh, it makes me want a hot dog real bad.

1705
01:23:39.080 --> 01:23:41.160
It's like the 4th of July.

1706
01:23:41.160 --> 01:23:42.960
It's the worst impression of all time.

1707
01:23:43.000 --> 01:23:45.000
But it's so good.

1708
01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:48.400
So, but anyways, yeah, no, I do that.

1709
01:23:48.400 --> 01:23:51.920
But yeah, just here in Dallas, I will say this.

1710
01:23:51.920 --> 01:23:55.580
I am obviously with my job, I'm open to long distance.

1711
01:23:55.580 --> 01:23:57.600
There is, I have some opportunities in Nashville.

1712
01:23:57.600 --> 01:24:00.600
So in the fall, there is a 50, 50,

1713
01:24:00.600 --> 01:24:01.920
probably more than 50% chance

1714
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:03.740
I'll be relocating to Nashville.

1715
01:24:03.740 --> 01:24:04.680
Really?

1716
01:24:04.680 --> 01:24:05.520
Yes.

1717
01:24:05.520 --> 01:24:07.040
This is new, I didn't know this.

1718
01:24:07.040 --> 01:24:08.000
Yeah, this is new.

1719
01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:11.680
Yeah, so it's, but again, I'm always on a plane.

1720
01:24:11.680 --> 01:24:13.000
I'm always going somewhere,

1721
01:24:13.000 --> 01:24:15.280
rather it be a football game or, you know,

1722
01:24:15.280 --> 01:24:17.880
a different country, I'm always trying to like,

1723
01:24:17.880 --> 01:24:19.240
I live, you get one shot.

1724
01:24:19.240 --> 01:24:20.080
You get one shot at life.

1725
01:24:20.080 --> 01:24:22.000
Not when you get married, do you want children?

1726
01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:23.040
Do you want to put down roots?

1727
01:24:23.040 --> 01:24:26.480
You're just going to stick your baby in a travel bag and go.

1728
01:24:26.480 --> 01:24:27.560
Yes to both.

1729
01:24:27.560 --> 01:24:29.340
I would love to have roots, but I also want to travel.

1730
01:24:29.340 --> 01:24:31.720
I would love to have all the kids.

1731
01:24:31.720 --> 01:24:32.920
Yeah, I want to be a dad.

1732
01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:35.640
That's probably the, like my biggest desire in life

1733
01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:36.480
is to be a dad.

1734
01:24:36.480 --> 01:24:40.240
So that's where my head's at right now.

1735
01:24:40.240 --> 01:24:43.440
And being an uncle is fun, right?

1736
01:24:43.440 --> 01:24:46.460
Like, but I think it's like another level of just love

1737
01:24:46.460 --> 01:24:49.360
that you can give to a kid that's yours.

1738
01:24:49.360 --> 01:24:50.920
Yeah, I love it.

1739
01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:52.000
All right, well, I think that Brian

1740
01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:53.800
shared a lot of great stuff about himself.

1741
01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:55.800
A lot of you are just saying pretty blue eyes

1742
01:24:55.800 --> 01:24:57.160
and just swooning over here.

1743
01:24:57.160 --> 01:24:59.680
So if you want to meet Brian, you're going to put Brian,

1744
01:24:59.680 --> 01:25:01.720
and you're going to put him in the chat.

1745
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:03.780
Dallas in the, in the subject line of that email.

1746
01:25:03.780 --> 01:25:06.240
Don't forget ladies, for those of you that are asking, what do we put in the

1747
01:25:06.240 --> 01:25:10.380
email, you put the name of the guy, you put the, you put the city that they live

1748
01:25:10.380 --> 01:25:15.640
in, and then you put in the body of the email, your information, as much as you

1749
01:25:15.640 --> 01:25:17.460
want to share and as much as you can.

1750
01:25:17.460 --> 01:25:20.060
Cause that helps us in some pictures of yourself.

1751
01:25:20.500 --> 01:25:20.800
Okay.

1752
01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:24.780
And not just a little three by three photo of the middle of your face.

1753
01:25:24.820 --> 01:25:25.160
All right.

1754
01:25:25.160 --> 01:25:28.220
Your whole head, no sunglasses, your whole body.

1755
01:25:28.260 --> 01:25:29.580
Give us something to work with.

1756
01:25:29.680 --> 01:25:32.940
All right, Brian, Brian's part of the last year, single community.

1757
01:25:32.940 --> 01:25:35.280
We're glad to have him here tonight on spotlight.

1758
01:25:35.620 --> 01:25:37.560
Uh, thank you for joining us and hopefully we'll be able to make some

1759
01:25:37.560 --> 01:25:38.180
intros for you.

1760
01:25:38.860 --> 01:25:39.500
Absolutely.

1761
01:25:39.900 --> 01:25:40.300
Woo.

1762
01:25:40.560 --> 01:25:40.860
All right.

1763
01:25:40.860 --> 01:25:42.900
I love that setup, that podcasting setup.

1764
01:25:43.300 --> 01:25:44.100
That is awesome.

1765
01:25:44.140 --> 01:25:44.320
All right.

1766
01:25:44.320 --> 01:25:45.780
We just have a couple more ladies.

1767
01:25:45.780 --> 01:25:47.940
We gotta, gotta get, gotta get all the guys.

1768
01:25:48.680 --> 01:25:49.920
We had a lot tonight.

1769
01:25:50.740 --> 01:25:57.300
I'm going to, I promise to bring you the most amazing men and women every month.

1770
01:25:57.780 --> 01:26:02.340
And you promise to help spread the word and get more people in here on single

1771
01:26:02.340 --> 01:26:06.220
spotlight and, or send us your single friends information.

1772
01:26:06.220 --> 01:26:08.400
If you think that, you know, someone who's not part of this

1773
01:26:08.400 --> 01:26:09.740
community, that's a good match.

1774
01:26:10.060 --> 01:26:11.820
Please help match make for each other.

1775
01:26:12.020 --> 01:26:12.500
Okay.

1776
01:26:12.940 --> 01:26:16.900
All right, Scott, another member of last year, single community.

1777
01:26:16.900 --> 01:26:18.300
So good to see you, Scott.

1778
01:26:18.300 --> 01:26:20.900
Last time I saw a picture of you, you were on your motorcycle.

1779
01:26:21.260 --> 01:26:25.060
So we want to know your, you know, where you're from, where you

1780
01:26:25.060 --> 01:26:27.220
live and some fun facts about you.

1781
01:26:28.300 --> 01:26:29.340
Thank you, Jackie.

1782
01:26:29.460 --> 01:26:31.260
Now my screen looks fuzzy.

1783
01:26:31.260 --> 01:26:33.580
I don't know why it is, but I apologize.

1784
01:26:33.780 --> 01:26:34.460
No, it looks good.

1785
01:26:34.460 --> 01:26:34.900
You're good.

1786
01:26:35.220 --> 01:26:35.780
Okay, good.

1787
01:26:35.820 --> 01:26:36.740
It must be my end.

1788
01:26:37.780 --> 01:26:39.260
So, so you're Scott Pirelli.

1789
01:26:39.860 --> 01:26:43.340
I'm 55 plus I'm busting Jackie's chops here.

1790
01:26:43.660 --> 01:26:46.580
I'm 64 years old, 64 years young.

1791
01:26:46.940 --> 01:26:49.020
I'm Casanova, New York, New York.

1792
01:26:49.100 --> 01:26:49.860
I live in New York.

1793
01:26:50.340 --> 01:26:53.860
I grew up in Westchester, was born in Yonkers, grew up in Westchester

1794
01:26:54.300 --> 01:26:55.780
and then moved up North to Syracuse.

1795
01:26:55.780 --> 01:26:56.940
I'm in the Syracuse region.

1796
01:26:57.660 --> 01:26:59.220
Most of you must know SU, right?

1797
01:26:59.220 --> 01:27:00.140
For basketball.

1798
01:27:00.620 --> 01:27:03.380
Two small dogs.

1799
01:27:04.220 --> 01:27:04.940
One's Louie.

1800
01:27:04.980 --> 01:27:08.340
I call him screwy Louie, seven pounds.

1801
01:27:08.340 --> 01:27:09.300
They're both rescues.

1802
01:27:09.740 --> 01:27:12.140
Louie's a silky terrier, the cutest thing in the world.

1803
01:27:12.500 --> 01:27:13.580
Everybody loves Louie.

1804
01:27:15.020 --> 01:27:18.540
And then Missy, she's a little dachshund mix.

1805
01:27:18.540 --> 01:27:22.180
So I'm divorced seven years.

1806
01:27:22.500 --> 01:27:24.940
Dad, but my daughter's 24 in the workforce.

1807
01:27:24.940 --> 01:27:25.700
She's out of college.

1808
01:27:25.700 --> 01:27:26.780
She's doing her thing, man.

1809
01:27:26.780 --> 01:27:28.500
She's, she's, I don't even see her anymore.

1810
01:27:28.700 --> 01:27:34.660
So, um, but, uh, so that's, that's, to me, it's a, it's a star in my crown.

1811
01:27:34.700 --> 01:27:39.460
I have a kid that grew up and did things that I didn't do.

1812
01:27:39.540 --> 01:27:43.700
Um, although I did go to college later on, but anyway, so that, um,

1813
01:27:43.700 --> 01:27:45.660
fun fact about me, I'm a motorcycle chaplain.

1814
01:27:46.180 --> 01:27:47.220
I usually wear a t-shirt.

1815
01:27:47.220 --> 01:27:49.180
I wanted to dress up tonight, wear a shirt.

1816
01:27:49.780 --> 01:27:50.900
Motorcycle chaplain.

1817
01:27:50.900 --> 01:27:51.540
I love it.

1818
01:27:52.180 --> 01:27:53.020
Motorcycle chaplain.

1819
01:27:53.540 --> 01:27:57.140
I actually found out I'm the only chaplain in the U S voted in, uh,

1820
01:27:57.140 --> 01:27:59.860
Hells Angels voted me in 10 years ago to be their chaplain.

1821
01:27:59.860 --> 01:28:03.260
I have, I have 10 clubs in a four hour radius.

1822
01:28:03.460 --> 01:28:07.020
So I have 250 to 300 men that I'm the chaplain for.

1823
01:28:07.300 --> 01:28:10.940
Um, and over the last 12 years, 10 years, really, but about

1824
01:28:10.940 --> 01:28:11.860
12 years I've been doing it.

1825
01:28:12.300 --> 01:28:13.660
Um, I do the weddings.

1826
01:28:13.700 --> 01:28:15.260
I don't try to do about 10 weddings a year.

1827
01:28:15.260 --> 01:28:18.020
I don't charge any money to them because they're my brothers in Christ.

1828
01:28:18.260 --> 01:28:20.020
My brothers in the biker community.

1829
01:28:20.420 --> 01:28:21.940
I don't take money for that at all.

1830
01:28:21.940 --> 01:28:27.180
Of course, but, um, funerals I'll do some, uh, and I do a lot of things, prison

1831
01:28:27.180 --> 01:28:31.900
visits, prison, I talked to a guy last night, uh, Paulie he's doing 20 years.

1832
01:28:32.500 --> 01:28:34.780
I married him and his wife nine years ago before he went in.

1833
01:28:34.980 --> 01:28:36.300
So we talk every month.

1834
01:28:36.540 --> 01:28:39.260
Um, so anyway, I do a lot of different ministry.

1835
01:28:39.260 --> 01:28:41.260
I also do hospital ministry, home ministry.

1836
01:28:41.540 --> 01:28:42.260
The guys call me.

1837
01:28:42.260 --> 01:28:44.540
If someone goes down on a motorcycle, they call me right up.

1838
01:28:44.700 --> 01:28:45.860
They call me Rev by the way.

1839
01:28:45.860 --> 01:28:46.780
They nicknamed me Rev.

1840
01:28:47.340 --> 01:28:48.580
Oh, 12, 15 years ago.

1841
01:28:49.220 --> 01:28:51.540
Hey Rev, wanted to let you know so-and-so went down.

1842
01:28:51.580 --> 01:28:52.420
He's at the hospital.

1843
01:28:52.740 --> 01:28:54.500
I'm also a chaplain for the hospitals.

1844
01:28:54.620 --> 01:28:56.980
I'm a university hospital chaplain.

1845
01:28:57.260 --> 01:28:59.300
So I get to go in COVID.

1846
01:28:59.300 --> 01:29:01.220
I went in, not a problem.

1847
01:29:01.220 --> 01:29:03.100
Went in, prayed over people, had a blast.

1848
01:29:03.420 --> 01:29:07.100
Um, so, you know, my heartbeat is for right now, the motorcycle community.

1849
01:29:07.100 --> 01:29:07.980
I have a church.

1850
01:29:08.220 --> 01:29:13.180
My pastor was here this week visiting me cause I was in a accident and I busted

1851
01:29:13.180 --> 01:29:14.620
my femur and I'm recuperating.

1852
01:29:15.060 --> 01:29:18.500
But, um, he said, he said to me, you know, Rev, you got a church.

1853
01:29:18.900 --> 01:29:22.420
And the reason why I said it was cause while he was here, one of my clubs

1854
01:29:22.420 --> 01:29:24.500
sent over the prospect street soldiers.

1855
01:29:24.940 --> 01:29:28.500
They send them over every week to make sure I'm okay with his wife.

1856
01:29:28.500 --> 01:29:29.540
They bring me a meal.

1857
01:29:29.820 --> 01:29:33.660
Not that I need it, but it's just the outpouring of Christ in

1858
01:29:33.660 --> 01:29:34.940
these people without Christ.

1859
01:29:34.940 --> 01:29:35.500
It's weird.

1860
01:29:35.700 --> 01:29:37.700
It's God's DNA is in them.

1861
01:29:38.060 --> 01:29:38.540
Oh yeah.

1862
01:29:38.540 --> 01:29:39.740
They just don't have Christ yet.

1863
01:29:40.140 --> 01:29:41.660
I love this so much.

1864
01:29:41.700 --> 01:29:45.620
So yeah, listen, and I, I got to say, I don't know.

1865
01:29:45.660 --> 01:29:46.420
I want to go into that.

1866
01:29:46.700 --> 01:29:50.140
I probably won't go into that, but I have a background of 40

1867
01:29:50.140 --> 01:29:51.500
years in the motorcycle community.

1868
01:29:51.700 --> 01:29:53.420
I rode with Hells Angels for 15 months.

1869
01:29:53.820 --> 01:29:56.820
I've done a lot of things in my life that were not good, but over the last

1870
01:29:56.820 --> 01:29:59.980
30, 35 years, since I've been saved, my heartbeat has been.

1871
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:03.800
for saving the laws, breaking the chains.

1872
01:30:03.800 --> 01:30:07.480
These bikers in this community are so powerful of love.

1873
01:30:07.480 --> 01:30:09.320
They want brotherhood, they want love.

1874
01:30:09.320 --> 01:30:10.160
They want love.

1875
01:30:10.160 --> 01:30:12.200
They want to get away from the brokenness,

1876
01:30:12.200 --> 01:30:13.960
the oppression, the poverty.

1877
01:30:13.960 --> 01:30:15.440
And so I bring that to them.

1878
01:30:15.440 --> 01:30:17.200
And every time I go somewhere nowadays,

1879
01:30:17.200 --> 01:30:18.560
I'm saying this to the women,

1880
01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:20.640
if anybody would be interested in me

1881
01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:22.720
and interested in this ministry.

1882
01:30:23.880 --> 01:30:25.720
When I show up, now this weekend,

1883
01:30:25.720 --> 01:30:27.080
we have a big Hells Angels event.

1884
01:30:27.080 --> 01:30:29.800
It's called the St. Valentine's Day Massacre event.

1885
01:30:29.840 --> 01:30:30.960
I go every year.

1886
01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:34.880
These guys will line up to see me over the Hells Angels.

1887
01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:35.840
That's unusual.

1888
01:30:35.840 --> 01:30:39.160
But they, and the Hells Angels expect it, they know it,

1889
01:30:39.160 --> 01:30:41.560
because it's disrespectful if I wasn't me.

1890
01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:44.320
But these guys line up and literally want to say,

1891
01:30:44.320 --> 01:30:45.560
hey Rev, they give a hug.

1892
01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:46.840
I hug everybody.

1893
01:30:46.840 --> 01:30:48.320
I hug everybody.

1894
01:30:48.320 --> 01:30:49.880
I want to show them the love of Christ

1895
01:30:49.880 --> 01:30:52.640
and let them feel the spirit of God.

1896
01:30:52.640 --> 01:30:55.520
So anyway, that's, and I just started,

1897
01:30:55.520 --> 01:30:58.400
I got it ordained as Axe Biker Church,

1898
01:30:58.400 --> 01:31:00.520
actively committed to serve.

1899
01:31:00.520 --> 01:31:02.240
So the guys are excited about it.

1900
01:31:02.240 --> 01:31:05.080
I haven't done anything with it yet other than the paperwork,

1901
01:31:05.080 --> 01:31:06.720
but that's my heartbeat.

1902
01:31:06.720 --> 01:31:07.560
I don't know if I'm talking too much.

1903
01:31:07.560 --> 01:31:08.400
That's incredible.

1904
01:31:08.400 --> 01:31:10.480
Axe, you know, the book of Axe, friends,

1905
01:31:10.480 --> 01:31:14.640
the birth of the church, Axe, and it's, what is it?

1906
01:31:14.640 --> 01:31:16.160
Actively committed to serve.

1907
01:31:16.160 --> 01:31:17.880
Actively committed to serve.

1908
01:31:17.880 --> 01:31:20.400
You guys, we have a great lineup of men tonight.

1909
01:31:20.400 --> 01:31:23.360
So many of them just completely sold out

1910
01:31:23.360 --> 01:31:24.560
for the cause of Christ.

1911
01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:25.400
How incredible.

1912
01:31:25.400 --> 01:31:26.640
So for all of you ladies, they're like,

1913
01:31:26.640 --> 01:31:28.480
oh, there's no men out here that love Jesus.

1914
01:31:28.480 --> 01:31:29.320
Well, guess what?

1915
01:31:29.320 --> 01:31:31.480
That lie got busted tonight.

1916
01:31:31.480 --> 01:31:33.800
So if you want to meet Scott, he is in New York.

1917
01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:36.480
He's in Casanova, New York.

1918
01:31:36.480 --> 01:31:37.320
Casanova.

1919
01:31:37.320 --> 01:31:39.640
Yes, if you want to meet him,

1920
01:31:39.640 --> 01:31:41.040
then you're going to write into us.

1921
01:31:41.040 --> 01:31:45.480
You're going to put Scott in NY in the subject line.

1922
01:31:45.480 --> 01:31:50.480
We would love to introduce Scott to someone who can go

1923
01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:53.160
where he's going and do what he's doing.

1924
01:31:53.160 --> 01:31:54.840
Sounds like a fun life.

1925
01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:55.680
All right.

1926
01:31:55.680 --> 01:31:56.600
Thank you so much, Scott.

1927
01:31:57.560 --> 01:31:58.400
We appreciate you.

1928
01:31:58.400 --> 01:31:59.240
Thank you.

1929
01:31:59.240 --> 01:32:00.080
Thank you, Jackie.

1930
01:32:00.080 --> 01:32:00.920
And thank you.

1931
01:32:00.920 --> 01:32:01.760
God bless you all.

1932
01:32:01.760 --> 01:32:02.600
Thank you so much.

1933
01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:03.440
Thank you.

1934
01:32:03.440 --> 01:32:04.280
All right.

1935
01:32:04.280 --> 01:32:05.120
So fun.

1936
01:32:05.120 --> 01:32:05.960
All right.

1937
01:32:05.960 --> 01:32:10.480
I think that we have maybe one more spotlight for the guys.

1938
01:32:10.480 --> 01:32:12.400
If you're a guy that I asked to come here tonight

1939
01:32:12.400 --> 01:32:14.280
to be spotlighted, like I asked you to come

1940
01:32:14.280 --> 01:32:16.720
to be spotlighted, raise your hand.

1941
01:32:16.720 --> 01:32:17.600
Okay.

1942
01:32:17.600 --> 01:32:20.400
Because I need to make sure that I spotlight you,

1943
01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:22.680
but I definitely.

1944
01:32:22.800 --> 01:32:23.640
Who said that?

1945
01:32:24.560 --> 01:32:26.400
Jackie is Josiah.

1946
01:32:26.400 --> 01:32:27.240
Oh, Josiah.

1947
01:32:27.240 --> 01:32:28.640
Thank you.

1948
01:32:28.640 --> 01:32:29.480
I have you on my list.

1949
01:32:29.480 --> 01:32:30.320
I promise.

1950
01:32:30.320 --> 01:32:33.080
But I just have a little bit of ADHD.

1951
01:32:33.080 --> 01:32:34.080
Not too bad.

1952
01:32:34.080 --> 01:32:35.480
We're working on it.

1953
01:32:35.480 --> 01:32:36.320
All right.

1954
01:32:36.320 --> 01:32:39.200
So let me get you spotlighted.

1955
01:32:39.200 --> 01:32:42.080
Josiah is a private client.

1956
01:32:42.080 --> 01:32:43.480
He's from East Tennessee

1957
01:32:43.480 --> 01:32:47.000
and we're going to find out all about him in just a second.

1958
01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:49.720
Soon after.

1959
01:32:49.720 --> 01:32:50.560
Second.

1960
01:32:52.240 --> 01:32:55.240
As soon as it lets me highlight him.

1961
01:32:55.240 --> 01:32:56.640
There he is.

1962
01:32:56.640 --> 01:32:57.920
All right.

1963
01:32:57.920 --> 01:32:58.920
It's from the Knoxville area.

1964
01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:00.040
Hi, Josiah.

1965
01:33:00.040 --> 01:33:00.880
Hey, Jackie.

1966
01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:01.960
Thanks for having me on.

1967
01:33:01.960 --> 01:33:02.800
Yeah, it's great to meet you.

1968
01:33:02.800 --> 01:33:06.640
So Josiah Gloffenheim from Knoxville, Tennessee,

1969
01:33:06.640 --> 01:33:09.320
home of the University of Tennessee.

1970
01:33:09.320 --> 01:33:10.760
I come from a large family.

1971
01:33:10.760 --> 01:33:13.640
I'm number two in the order of five.

1972
01:33:13.640 --> 01:33:15.520
I'm a baseball guy.

1973
01:33:15.520 --> 01:33:17.600
I went to college at Winthrop University

1974
01:33:17.600 --> 01:33:19.920
in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

1975
01:33:19.920 --> 01:33:23.040
And Jackie, I actually, my freshman year,

1976
01:33:23.040 --> 01:33:26.800
we came over to Austin, Texas on a spring break

1977
01:33:26.800 --> 01:33:29.680
and we played at University of Texas

1978
01:33:29.680 --> 01:33:31.920
and we lost in an extra inning game

1979
01:33:31.920 --> 01:33:34.440
with a walk-off home run in 10 innings.

1980
01:33:34.440 --> 01:33:35.280
Oh no.

1981
01:33:35.280 --> 01:33:37.640
But that was like my earliest memory of Austin, Texas.

1982
01:33:37.640 --> 01:33:38.520
It was great.

1983
01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:40.120
Just as a freshman college.

1984
01:33:40.120 --> 01:33:41.520
Getting weirder by the day.

1985
01:33:41.520 --> 01:33:42.800
Yeah.

1986
01:33:42.800 --> 01:33:44.240
I went on, I did my MBA,

1987
01:33:44.240 --> 01:33:47.400
Masters of Business at the University of Tennessee

1988
01:33:48.080 --> 01:33:51.080
in Knoxville and stayed in town.

1989
01:33:51.080 --> 01:33:52.720
I'm in the commercial real estate business.

1990
01:33:52.720 --> 01:33:56.280
So we do a lot of retail real estate.

1991
01:33:56.280 --> 01:33:59.320
We build and develop shopping centers.

1992
01:33:59.320 --> 01:34:01.880
We work with a lot of different companies

1993
01:34:01.880 --> 01:34:05.120
on their growth and expansion in the state of Tennessee.

1994
01:34:05.120 --> 01:34:08.520
So interesting fact, Whataburger,

1995
01:34:08.520 --> 01:34:11.640
a strong Texas brand out of San Antonio

1996
01:34:11.640 --> 01:34:14.840
is now expanding in the state of Tennessee.

1997
01:34:14.840 --> 01:34:19.760
And we have the opportunity to help them grow 90 locations

1998
01:34:19.760 --> 01:34:22.920
and their area development agreement in East Tennessee.

1999
01:34:22.920 --> 01:34:23.760
Oh, wow.

2000
01:34:23.760 --> 01:34:26.400
So we're actively helping Whataburger

2001
01:34:26.400 --> 01:34:29.760
and their growth footprint at Tennessee.

2002
01:34:29.760 --> 01:34:31.160
A lot of people like Whataburger.

2003
01:34:31.160 --> 01:34:32.760
My father-in-law loves Whataburger.

2004
01:34:32.760 --> 01:34:36.120
I am an In-N-Out fan myself, but it's-

2005
01:34:36.120 --> 01:34:36.960
They're coming.

2006
01:34:36.960 --> 01:34:39.160
Hey, they've just started some deals in Nashville.

2007
01:34:39.160 --> 01:34:40.560
They're coming towards Knoxville.

2008
01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:42.960
So it's just a matter of time.

2009
01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:44.320
Yeah, I love that.

2010
01:34:44.840 --> 01:34:46.720
So ladies want to know, have you ever been married?

2011
01:34:46.720 --> 01:34:48.080
Do you have any kids?

2012
01:34:48.080 --> 01:34:50.320
No, I've never been married, don't have kids.

2013
01:34:50.320 --> 01:34:52.000
I'd love to have kids.

2014
01:34:52.960 --> 01:34:54.560
Another interesting fact,

2015
01:34:54.560 --> 01:34:56.920
I don't know if there are any Morgan Wallen fans

2016
01:34:56.920 --> 01:34:58.400
in the audience tonight.

2017
01:34:58.400 --> 01:34:59.440
I'm a fan.

2018
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:04.880
So I coached Morgan Wallen, he was a big baseball guy.

2019
01:35:04.880 --> 01:35:07.200
And as a high schooler, he was excellent.

2020
01:35:07.200 --> 01:35:09.240
He's from Knoxville, went to the same high school

2021
01:35:09.240 --> 01:35:11.260
that I went to at Gibbs.

2022
01:35:11.260 --> 01:35:14.960
And I coached him when he was 17 years old.

2023
01:35:14.960 --> 01:35:15.800
Wow.

2024
01:35:15.800 --> 01:35:17.520
And he was our shortstop.

2025
01:35:17.520 --> 01:35:20.400
He was blessed with a wonderful arm

2026
01:35:20.400 --> 01:35:22.800
and was one of our best relief pitchers.

2027
01:35:22.800 --> 01:35:23.640
Crazy.

2028
01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:26.520
But I did not even know that Morgan was involved

2029
01:35:26.520 --> 01:35:30.080
with music or even could play the guitar or sing.

2030
01:35:30.080 --> 01:35:33.040
And then like 10 years later or five years later,

2031
01:35:33.040 --> 01:35:37.480
I see Morgan all over the radio and I'm like, Morgan?

2032
01:35:37.480 --> 01:35:38.760
No way, Morgan.

2033
01:35:40.320 --> 01:35:41.160
Yeah.

2034
01:35:41.160 --> 01:35:42.920
Yeah, well, they change them when they put them

2035
01:35:42.920 --> 01:35:45.120
on the stage, but that's him, all right.

2036
01:35:45.120 --> 01:35:45.960
Well, that's so fun.

2037
01:35:45.960 --> 01:35:46.800
Yeah, he's got that bad boy,

2038
01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:48.960
he's got the little bad boy thing going on.

2039
01:35:48.960 --> 01:35:49.800
And-

2040
01:35:49.800 --> 01:35:50.620
Yeah, he does.

2041
01:35:50.620 --> 01:35:53.880
He was a country boy, but he certainly had the it factor

2042
01:35:53.880 --> 01:35:56.000
even as a 17 year old.

2043
01:35:56.520 --> 01:35:58.120
Yeah, oh, that's fun, the it factor.

2044
01:35:58.120 --> 01:35:59.240
That's a real thing.

2045
01:35:59.240 --> 01:36:00.840
People wanna know how old you are.

2046
01:36:00.840 --> 01:36:02.760
You guys, he coached Morgan Wallen.

2047
01:36:02.760 --> 01:36:03.600
How old are you?

2048
01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:04.560
Yeah, so I'm 42.

2049
01:36:04.560 --> 01:36:07.440
I just turned 42 two days after Christmas.

2050
01:36:08.640 --> 01:36:09.960
Nora's saying your face lights up

2051
01:36:09.960 --> 01:36:11.520
when you talk about baseball.

2052
01:36:11.520 --> 01:36:15.880
So what's your favorite baseball tradition or snap?

2053
01:36:15.880 --> 01:36:20.720
So the last probably five or 10 years during October,

2054
01:36:20.720 --> 01:36:23.320
I don't watch a lot of big league baseball

2055
01:36:23.360 --> 01:36:24.600
during the regular season,

2056
01:36:24.600 --> 01:36:27.960
but during the post season in October,

2057
01:36:27.960 --> 01:36:29.960
I've got a business relationship

2058
01:36:29.960 --> 01:36:32.000
that they have this wonderful pavilion,

2059
01:36:32.000 --> 01:36:34.220
outdoor pavilion on the lake.

2060
01:36:34.220 --> 01:36:37.760
And we'll host like four or five events

2061
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:40.800
like these MLB watch parties.

2062
01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:42.800
And it's awesome just to gather people.

2063
01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:44.240
We'll have 30, 40 people.

2064
01:36:44.240 --> 01:36:45.860
We'll provide dinner.

2065
01:36:45.860 --> 01:36:48.140
There are two TVs on either end of this pavilion

2066
01:36:48.140 --> 01:36:49.920
with fireplaces.

2067
01:36:49.920 --> 01:36:52.600
And it's just kind of like crisp October days

2068
01:36:52.600 --> 01:36:54.200
in East Tennessee.

2069
01:36:54.200 --> 01:36:56.400
Chilly baseball fires.

2070
01:36:56.400 --> 01:36:58.200
It's been a ton of fun.

2071
01:36:58.200 --> 01:36:59.040
That's good.

2072
01:36:59.040 --> 01:37:01.240
That's a very Americana like that right there.

2073
01:37:01.240 --> 01:37:02.520
I love that.

2074
01:37:02.520 --> 01:37:03.920
People are saying you have a baby face.

2075
01:37:03.920 --> 01:37:05.800
You're like, I thought you were in your 20s.

2076
01:37:05.800 --> 01:37:09.040
Okay, this is Josiah's first spotlight with us.

2077
01:37:09.040 --> 01:37:11.460
I keep threatening to have him and I finally got him here.

2078
01:37:11.460 --> 01:37:15.360
And so Josiah is interested in meeting someone

2079
01:37:15.360 --> 01:37:18.800
who is interested in kind of a traditional life,

2080
01:37:18.800 --> 01:37:21.280
out there in Tennessee.

2081
01:37:21.280 --> 01:37:26.280
He is a very financially secure man doing great things

2082
01:37:26.480 --> 01:37:29.520
and wants to meet a woman who wants to raise a family,

2083
01:37:29.520 --> 01:37:32.120
wants to partner together, raise a family.

2084
01:37:32.120 --> 01:37:34.080
I know a lot of you ladies, that has been your dream

2085
01:37:34.080 --> 01:37:36.480
all of your life to be a wife, to be a mom,

2086
01:37:36.480 --> 01:37:41.040
to be able to grow community with your husband

2087
01:37:41.040 --> 01:37:45.800
and work together to raise up some world changing kids.

2088
01:37:45.800 --> 01:37:47.840
And so, yeah.

2089
01:37:47.840 --> 01:37:49.700
Yeah, your accent kind of sounds,

2090
01:37:50.580 --> 01:37:52.660
it sounds a little bit like someone famous

2091
01:37:52.660 --> 01:37:55.380
that I can't think of, like say on the top of my brain,

2092
01:37:55.380 --> 01:37:57.780
like the tip of my tongue, but I can't think of it.

2093
01:37:57.780 --> 01:37:59.260
But yeah, we love that accent.

2094
01:37:59.260 --> 01:38:00.100
It's so different.

2095
01:38:00.100 --> 01:38:02.300
It's got a little Tennessee, maybe not Texas,

2096
01:38:02.300 --> 01:38:04.460
but it's got a little, I guess, Tennessee.

2097
01:38:04.460 --> 01:38:05.300
It does.

2098
01:38:05.300 --> 01:38:07.940
But you know, my family comes from like Murfreesboro

2099
01:38:07.940 --> 01:38:10.700
and Nashville and stuff.

2100
01:38:10.700 --> 01:38:12.460
And your accent is different than theirs.

2101
01:38:12.460 --> 01:38:14.380
So it's interesting how all the different accents

2102
01:38:14.380 --> 01:38:17.980
in Tennessee, their accent is a lot more like,

2103
01:38:18.500 --> 01:38:21.460
I don't know, like a rolling kind of sound.

2104
01:38:21.460 --> 01:38:23.100
So yes, they love the accent.

2105
01:38:23.100 --> 01:38:24.780
The ladies love the accent.

2106
01:38:24.780 --> 01:38:27.300
So ladies, if you want to meet Josiah,

2107
01:38:27.300 --> 01:38:29.800
do you have any questions for Josiah before?

2108
01:38:29.800 --> 01:38:32.680
I know that, I know we had a lot of spotlights tonight.

2109
01:38:32.680 --> 01:38:36.460
Any questions, you're gonna want to email into us,

2110
01:38:36.460 --> 01:38:38.420
Josiah, Tennessee.

2111
01:38:38.420 --> 01:38:41.460
We want to, you know, if you think that you're gonna be

2112
01:38:41.460 --> 01:38:44.380
a good introduction for Josiah,

2113
01:38:44.380 --> 01:38:46.700
they want you just to say the word, darling.

2114
01:38:46.700 --> 01:38:47.540
Hey, darling.

2115
01:38:49.700 --> 01:38:51.100
There you go.

2116
01:38:51.100 --> 01:38:53.180
Women are weird, okay?

2117
01:38:53.180 --> 01:38:54.380
This is what we do.

2118
01:38:54.380 --> 01:38:55.220
Okay.

2119
01:38:55.220 --> 01:38:57.580
Yeah, there's some great chatter on here tonight, for sure.

2120
01:38:57.580 --> 01:38:59.100
Yeah, it's great, great.

2121
01:38:59.100 --> 01:39:02.140
Okay, I'm scrolling through trying to find out.

2122
01:39:05.540 --> 01:39:07.940
Yeah, just like Jackie said too, you know,

2123
01:39:07.940 --> 01:39:10.420
I grew up in a conservative home.

2124
01:39:10.420 --> 01:39:13.700
I'm very well-established here in Tennessee.

2125
01:39:13.700 --> 01:39:16.620
Part of my business is very relationship oriented business.

2126
01:39:17.460 --> 01:39:19.620
So, I mean, I would relocate,

2127
01:39:19.620 --> 01:39:21.820
but I think that's a very small probability

2128
01:39:21.820 --> 01:39:24.680
just because where God has me and some of my roots.

2129
01:39:25.980 --> 01:39:28.940
And, you know, I would love a traditional family,

2130
01:39:28.940 --> 01:39:32.340
even a stay-at-home mom or somebody that could use her gifts

2131
01:39:33.500 --> 01:39:36.820
kind of around, centered around raising a family.

2132
01:39:36.820 --> 01:39:38.100
Yeah, no, absolutely.

2133
01:39:38.100 --> 01:39:39.420
And you're close to your family.

2134
01:39:39.420 --> 01:39:41.140
Is your family all there still?

2135
01:39:41.140 --> 01:39:44.220
I've got four of the five siblings still in East Tennessee,

2136
01:39:44.220 --> 01:39:46.320
one down in Fort Walton, Florida,

2137
01:39:47.020 --> 01:39:48.720
that recently just moved to Danbury, Connecticut.

2138
01:39:48.720 --> 01:39:53.240
So, that's a big change for us Southern folks.

2139
01:39:53.240 --> 01:39:55.680
Yeah, that is a big change, for sure.

2140
01:39:55.680 --> 01:39:56.520
Yeah.

2141
01:39:56.520 --> 01:39:59.000
All right, well, a lot of ladies are just saying that,

2142
01:39:59.000 --> 01:40:00.200
you know, that you look.

2143
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:00.660
Great.

2144
01:40:00.660 --> 01:40:01.880
And you're amazing.

2145
01:40:01.880 --> 01:40:04.080
And so I know that we'll have some ladies writing in.

2146
01:40:04.080 --> 01:40:07.640
And remember, you guys, if you have a friend that you're like,

2147
01:40:07.640 --> 01:40:09.640
wow, she really needs to meet Josiah,

2148
01:40:09.640 --> 01:40:12.760
or she really needs to meet Matthew, or Greg, or Brian,

2149
01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:15.580
or Andrew, or any of the men that we spotlighted tonight,

2150
01:40:15.580 --> 01:40:19.360
and vice versa, if you've seen a woman that got spotlighted

2151
01:40:19.360 --> 01:40:21.520
that you think needs to meet a guy that you know,

2152
01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:23.120
please write in to us.

2153
01:40:23.120 --> 01:40:26.520
Because community-based matchmaking is what we do here.

2154
01:40:26.520 --> 01:40:28.880
Thank you so much, Josiah, for joining us.

2155
01:40:28.880 --> 01:40:29.800
I appreciate you.

2156
01:40:29.800 --> 01:40:31.480
And we'll see you soon.

2157
01:40:31.480 --> 01:40:32.360
Going to see him soon.

2158
01:40:32.360 --> 01:40:35.400
And I think that I think I might have one more, even.

2159
01:40:35.400 --> 01:40:36.960
You guys, I invited.

2160
01:40:36.960 --> 01:40:38.760
I didn't expect everyone to say yes.

2161
01:40:38.760 --> 01:40:41.400
Usually, I over-invite, because it's like, you know,

2162
01:40:41.400 --> 01:40:42.320
who's going to come?

2163
01:40:42.320 --> 01:40:43.480
Who can come?

2164
01:40:43.480 --> 01:40:48.040
And then, for whatever reason, everybody is here, OK?

2165
01:40:48.040 --> 01:40:52.840
And so let me get to, I saw him.

2166
01:40:52.840 --> 01:40:55.680
I talked him into coming tonight.

2167
01:40:55.680 --> 01:40:56.520
I'm looking for him.

2168
01:40:56.520 --> 01:40:57.200
There he is.

2169
01:40:57.200 --> 01:40:58.120
All right.

2170
01:40:58.120 --> 01:41:00.000
I want you guys to meet my friend, Kareem.

2171
01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:02.640
Hey, Kareem.

2172
01:41:02.640 --> 01:41:03.880
Hey.

2173
01:41:03.880 --> 01:41:04.400
Hey, Jackie.

2174
01:41:04.400 --> 01:41:05.400
Hi.

2175
01:41:05.400 --> 01:41:06.560
How's it going?

2176
01:41:06.560 --> 01:41:08.480
Yeah, we were just together in Vegas.

2177
01:41:08.480 --> 01:41:13.000
Kareem is involved in a lot of different things

2178
01:41:13.000 --> 01:41:15.880
that I'm involved with, with business and kingdom business.

2179
01:41:15.880 --> 01:41:17.680
And he is amazing.

2180
01:41:17.680 --> 01:41:18.800
And we love Kareem.

2181
01:41:18.800 --> 01:41:21.040
And so Kareem, you're just going to tell us how old you are,

2182
01:41:21.040 --> 01:41:22.760
where you're from, where you live now,

2183
01:41:22.760 --> 01:41:25.840
and something, you know, fun fact about yourself.

2184
01:41:25.840 --> 01:41:29.040
Yeah, so I'm 28 years old.

2185
01:41:29.040 --> 01:41:32.560
I am originally from Belize, born and raised in Belize,

2186
01:41:32.560 --> 01:41:36.040
Central America, missionary kid.

2187
01:41:36.040 --> 01:41:40.720
And I now live in Dallas, Texas, in the uptown area,

2188
01:41:40.720 --> 01:41:43.640
kind of like around Highland Park.

2189
01:41:43.640 --> 01:41:48.760
And fun fact, I just recently got a Husky, so.

2190
01:41:48.760 --> 01:41:49.840
Is he there?

2191
01:41:49.840 --> 01:41:51.680
Yeah, he's right here.

2192
01:41:51.680 --> 01:41:52.800
He's right there.

2193
01:41:52.800 --> 01:41:54.840
Oh, sweetheart.

2194
01:41:54.840 --> 01:41:56.000
He's so sweet.

2195
01:41:56.000 --> 01:41:57.120
What's his name?

2196
01:41:57.120 --> 01:41:59.480
His name is Kevin.

2197
01:41:59.480 --> 01:42:02.080
The original, that was the original name when I got him.

2198
01:42:02.080 --> 01:42:04.440
So I kind of stuck with it.

2199
01:42:04.440 --> 01:42:05.840
Oh, wow, I love that.

2200
01:42:05.840 --> 01:42:07.840
His name is Kevin, you guys.

2201
01:42:07.840 --> 01:42:08.600
Name is Kevin.

2202
01:42:08.600 --> 01:42:09.080
I love it.

2203
01:42:09.080 --> 01:42:11.320
Kevin the Husky, that's right.

2204
01:42:11.320 --> 01:42:13.560
You know, Kareem is on the younger side of the kind

2205
01:42:13.560 --> 01:42:14.680
of guys that we spotlight.

2206
01:42:14.680 --> 01:42:18.160
But there's been some ladies in their middle to late 20s

2207
01:42:18.160 --> 01:42:19.880
here tonight.

2208
01:42:19.880 --> 01:42:21.640
And you know, even the ladies that

2209
01:42:21.640 --> 01:42:26.080
are the ripe old age of 30 want you to meet Kareem.

2210
01:42:26.080 --> 01:42:27.320
Kareem, you're pretty gifted.

2211
01:42:27.320 --> 01:42:28.440
You're really good at tech.

2212
01:42:28.440 --> 01:42:31.640
You're really good at business stuff.

2213
01:42:31.640 --> 01:42:33.960
How'd you get into that?

2214
01:42:33.960 --> 01:42:37.200
Yeah, I mean, it started in 2020 when COVID hit.

2215
01:42:37.200 --> 01:42:40.200
I wanted to find something online.

2216
01:42:40.200 --> 01:42:42.000
I found Pedro, Pedro Deo.

2217
01:42:42.000 --> 01:42:44.560
And I joined his course and started

2218
01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:50.960
to self-teach myself all the things, automations, email,

2219
01:42:51.000 --> 01:42:54.200
like all the back end stuff for events and challenges

2220
01:42:54.200 --> 01:42:54.920
and stuff like that.

2221
01:42:54.920 --> 01:42:56.960
So it's kind of that's where it started.

2222
01:42:56.960 --> 01:43:00.640
And then I just went into helping clients.

2223
01:43:00.640 --> 01:43:03.480
Eventually, I guess Pedro caught his eye on me

2224
01:43:03.480 --> 01:43:05.040
and eventually hired me.

2225
01:43:05.040 --> 01:43:07.680
So I'm now working for him full time.

2226
01:43:07.680 --> 01:43:11.640
And I'm actually working for him as a contractor.

2227
01:43:11.640 --> 01:43:13.320
So I'm actually self-employed.

2228
01:43:13.320 --> 01:43:17.480
And I have other clients that I'm working with as well.

2229
01:43:17.480 --> 01:43:20.200
Yeah, including Jackie.

2230
01:43:20.200 --> 01:43:24.080
So yeah, so that's kind of where it's at.

2231
01:43:24.080 --> 01:43:25.240
Yeah, I know it is.

2232
01:43:25.240 --> 01:43:25.960
And he's awesome.

2233
01:43:25.960 --> 01:43:26.880
And ladies, he's tall.

2234
01:43:26.880 --> 01:43:27.760
I just happen to know that.

2235
01:43:27.760 --> 01:43:28.760
I'm just going to throw that in there.

2236
01:43:28.760 --> 01:43:29.640
He's taller than me.

2237
01:43:29.640 --> 01:43:30.360
I'm 5'10".

2238
01:43:30.360 --> 01:43:32.000
You guys know I'm a tall one.

2239
01:43:32.000 --> 01:43:33.440
I'm a sturdy girl.

2240
01:43:33.440 --> 01:43:38.080
Has a dog, has a Husky, is ready to get into the dating role,

2241
01:43:38.080 --> 01:43:41.200
dip his foot in the dating pool, just meet some people.

2242
01:43:41.200 --> 01:43:43.600
We have a lot of ladies that are up in Dallas.

2243
01:43:43.600 --> 01:43:45.880
So if you're a lady that wants to meet Kareem,

2244
01:43:45.880 --> 01:43:50.080
if you are someone who knows someone in that area,

2245
01:43:50.080 --> 01:43:51.600
let's keep it as local as possible.

2246
01:43:51.600 --> 01:43:53.880
You guys, for all of these, yes, long distance is great.

2247
01:43:53.880 --> 01:43:55.240
And we'll do it.

2248
01:43:55.240 --> 01:43:57.280
Most of us will do it.

2249
01:43:57.280 --> 01:43:59.520
We want to try to keep it as local as possible so they

2250
01:43:59.520 --> 01:44:00.880
can get to know each other.

2251
01:44:00.880 --> 01:44:02.840
I'm looking at the chat right now.

2252
01:44:02.840 --> 01:44:05.320
We want to do that if we can.

2253
01:44:05.320 --> 01:44:11.000
So if you know someone local in Dallas, in Frisco, in Austin,

2254
01:44:11.000 --> 01:44:14.120
anywhere in Texas that's within just a few hour drive,

2255
01:44:14.120 --> 01:44:16.400
we would love, first and foremost,

2256
01:44:16.400 --> 01:44:17.600
to hear about those people.

2257
01:44:17.600 --> 01:44:21.680
But once again, if you feel a burning desire to meet Kareem,

2258
01:44:21.680 --> 01:44:23.120
even though you're long distance,

2259
01:44:23.120 --> 01:44:24.240
we will entertain that.

2260
01:44:24.240 --> 01:44:26.320
So make sure that you message us.

2261
01:44:26.320 --> 01:44:28.040
I'm looking for any questions.

2262
01:44:28.040 --> 01:44:29.400
They're like, a bit young for me.

2263
01:44:29.400 --> 01:44:32.000
Yes, yes, yes, for sure.

2264
01:44:32.000 --> 01:44:34.000
People are saying, you need to meet so-and-so.

2265
01:44:34.000 --> 01:44:36.000
OK, I will definitely.

2266
01:44:36.000 --> 01:44:37.320
I know who you're talking about.

2267
01:44:37.320 --> 01:44:40.920
So I'm going to make a checkmark in my mind for that.

2268
01:44:40.920 --> 01:44:42.160
You're a missionary kid.

2269
01:44:42.160 --> 01:44:43.040
You grew up in Belize.

2270
01:44:43.040 --> 01:44:45.640
How old were you when you moved to the States?

2271
01:44:45.640 --> 01:44:48.560
And do you have a heart for missions at all?

2272
01:44:48.560 --> 01:44:53.760
OK, so I was 20, 23, I think.

2273
01:44:53.760 --> 01:44:55.360
It was about four years ago.

2274
01:44:55.360 --> 01:44:56.200
So it's 24.

2275
01:44:56.200 --> 01:44:56.720
Yeah, 24.

2276
01:44:56.720 --> 01:44:58.200
What am I thinking?

2277
01:44:58.200 --> 01:45:01.120
So yeah, I moved here.

2278
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:04.160
I'm actually the only, I'm the youngest of four siblings,

2279
01:45:04.160 --> 01:45:06.120
and I'm the only one actually,

2280
01:45:06.120 --> 01:45:09.160
I don't actually have any family in Texas.

2281
01:45:09.160 --> 01:45:12.540
They're either in Pennsylvania, Guatemala, or Belize.

2282
01:45:13.380 --> 01:45:17.360
And do I have a heart for the missions?

2283
01:45:17.360 --> 01:45:20.480
I would say I have a heart to serve

2284
01:45:21.880 --> 01:45:25.040
Christian or kingdom businesses

2285
01:45:25.040 --> 01:45:29.600
that are trying to reach the areas that they're serving in.

2286
01:45:29.600 --> 01:45:33.760
So that's kind of my area, my field of favor, so to speak.

2287
01:45:34.840 --> 01:45:36.760
So in a sense, that is, I guess,

2288
01:45:36.760 --> 01:45:39.160
I don't know if it's the mission specifically,

2289
01:45:39.160 --> 01:45:43.880
but I have a heart for the broken,

2290
01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:46.160
the people that other people are trying to reach.

2291
01:45:46.160 --> 01:45:49.500
So I love supporting those people.

2292
01:45:50.400 --> 01:45:51.240
I love that.

2293
01:45:51.240 --> 01:45:52.060
So yeah.

2294
01:45:52.060 --> 01:45:53.720
Like helping people reach the people

2295
01:45:53.720 --> 01:45:54.800
that they're trying to reach.

2296
01:45:54.800 --> 01:45:55.640
It's so good.

2297
01:45:55.640 --> 01:45:56.460
Yes.

2298
01:45:56.460 --> 01:45:57.300
Do you speak another language?

2299
01:45:58.300 --> 01:46:03.060
I can talk Creole, Jamaican kind of accent.

2300
01:46:04.140 --> 01:46:05.500
I could do that.

2301
01:46:05.500 --> 01:46:07.060
I know a little bit of Spanish,

2302
01:46:08.340 --> 01:46:10.240
but yeah, that's kind of where I'm at.

2303
01:46:11.260 --> 01:46:14.060
Not me trying to figure out when people speak in Belize,

2304
01:46:14.060 --> 01:46:15.900
because I don't know.

2305
01:46:15.900 --> 01:46:17.180
It's Creole.

2306
01:46:17.180 --> 01:46:19.140
If you heard a Jamaican talk,

2307
01:46:19.140 --> 01:46:21.680
it's kind of like in the similar range.

2308
01:46:21.680 --> 01:46:22.520
Okay.

2309
01:46:22.520 --> 01:46:23.380
I love it.

2310
01:46:23.380 --> 01:46:26.020
I love a Creole accent, says Nina.

2311
01:46:26.020 --> 01:46:27.140
All right.

2312
01:46:27.140 --> 01:46:27.980
I love it.

2313
01:46:27.980 --> 01:46:28.800
I love it.

2314
01:46:28.800 --> 01:46:29.640
I love it.

2315
01:46:29.640 --> 01:46:30.460
Okay, you guys.

2316
01:46:30.460 --> 01:46:31.300
Yes.

2317
01:46:31.300 --> 01:46:32.940
Kingdom-minded men, all of them.

2318
01:46:32.940 --> 01:46:34.920
So if you want to meet Kareem, all right,

2319
01:46:34.920 --> 01:46:37.380
we want you to email us.

2320
01:46:37.380 --> 01:46:38.220
It's in Dallas.

2321
01:46:38.220 --> 01:46:39.300
So you're going to put Kareem,

2322
01:46:39.300 --> 01:46:43.760
then you're going to put Dallas in that subject line.

2323
01:46:43.760 --> 01:46:45.780
Don't forget to give us the information about yourself

2324
01:46:45.780 --> 01:46:48.060
because it's K-A-R-E-E-M,

2325
01:46:48.060 --> 01:46:50.460
in case you didn't know how to spell that.

2326
01:46:50.460 --> 01:46:53.220
And we would love to introduce you to Kareem Kareem.

2327
01:46:53.220 --> 01:46:54.740
Thank you for coming.

2328
01:46:54.780 --> 01:46:55.980
Thank you for inviting me.

2329
01:46:55.980 --> 01:46:58.420
I talked you into it, but I appreciate it.

2330
01:46:59.740 --> 01:47:02.860
You guys, there's so many great and amazing men out there.

2331
01:47:02.860 --> 01:47:03.780
You know, they,

2332
01:47:03.780 --> 01:47:07.220
they're sometimes reluctant to go into dating apps

2333
01:47:07.220 --> 01:47:10.820
or things like this, spotlights, because, you know,

2334
01:47:10.820 --> 01:47:13.140
I think a lot of times, you know, guys just think, oh,

2335
01:47:13.140 --> 01:47:14.380
you know, I'll just meet her somewhere.

2336
01:47:14.380 --> 01:47:15.220
It'll be organic.

2337
01:47:15.220 --> 01:47:16.040
But you know,

2338
01:47:16.040 --> 01:47:18.140
we're living in a time when things are not that organic

2339
01:47:18.140 --> 01:47:19.340
anymore, right?

2340
01:47:19.340 --> 01:47:21.100
Community-based matchmaking is dying.

2341
01:47:21.100 --> 01:47:23.060
And that's why we want to bring it back

2342
01:47:23.060 --> 01:47:24.420
through groups like this.

2343
01:47:25.100 --> 01:47:26.540
And that cannot happen without you.

2344
01:47:26.540 --> 01:47:27.780
Don't just put it on Jackie.

2345
01:47:27.780 --> 01:47:30.540
It has to happen because you're helping it happen as well.

2346
01:47:30.540 --> 01:47:33.660
And so please email us about any of the spotlights.

2347
01:47:33.660 --> 01:47:35.340
We did have a lady that got left out.

2348
01:47:35.340 --> 01:47:36.460
She's going to be next time.

2349
01:47:36.460 --> 01:47:38.980
She volunteered as tribute to go next time.

2350
01:47:38.980 --> 01:47:41.500
And so thank you guys so much for being here.

2351
01:47:41.500 --> 01:47:43.140
Hopefully you've been looking at the other people

2352
01:47:43.140 --> 01:47:45.300
in the windows and getting down their names

2353
01:47:45.300 --> 01:47:46.380
and writing them down.

2354
01:47:46.380 --> 01:47:48.620
If you saw someone here tonight that wasn't spotlighted,

2355
01:47:48.620 --> 01:47:50.220
