Okay, so this is single spotlight. Welcome everybody. It is August 26 and we've got three
amazing bachelors to highlight tonight. I've got a great number of questions. Some of them
seem super silly, but you guys, people's everyday habits kind of like sometimes they can be
deal breakers and then I've got more serious questions and then I'm going to always make
sure that the bachelor that or the guy that I'm highlighting, if I didn't ask him a question
that really showcases something about him or that's important, I'm always going to be able
to give him the floor. We're going to take about 15 minutes for each guy, maybe 20 minutes
depending on how wordy they are. And then I'm going to be able to pull in about five women to
come into a round robin season. So if you are on camera and I can see you and you look good, I
could already see some women. You got the light on you. You look good today. So I like it. I
like it. Okay. So David Wright, you are up first. Cheryl, are you going to do it for me or am I
going to do it? I saw you, David. Where did you go? Did you already get, let's see. I think
I spotlight for everyone. That's what I want to do, right? Yeah. You all can see him now,
right? Did I do that correctly? Thumbs up. Okay. Perfect. You know? All right. I love it. Okay.
Perfect. All right, David. David and I had the wonderful opportunity. I got to be with the men
last night. Oh, David, I like the artwork behind you. Okay. So now you have to, where'd you go?
Okay. So that's going to be one of the questions I'm going to ask you because you've got this
gorgeous artwork. Okay. So you're going to take the first couple of minutes and you're going to
just tell everybody just the bare minimum about you because I got a whole page of fun questions
for you. Tell everybody where you currently live, your age, do you have kids? Do you want kids? Can
you relocate or not? And one thing about you that you love most about yourself. So it's kind of like
you're bragging on yourself. So age, where do you live? Do you have kids? Do you want kids?
What do you do for a living? Can you relocate or do you not want it? And if you can't relocate,
do not be afraid to say that. Okay. So my name is David Wright. I'm from Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
And yeah, so I'm single, never married. I'm 33 and I definitely want kids. However, they don't
need to be biologically my kids. So if you already have kids or if you're like, I'm done,
but hey, that's not a deal breaker for me. And adopting is great too. Yeah. And one thing that
I love that I think people will talk about me is I think I'm a pretty good listener. And yeah,
I'm a social worker. So I've done that for about 10 years. And I was in ministry for another 10
years running a homeless shelter. And I'm currently starting my own business where I sell collectibles,
antique and art, hence the art. So I muted myself. I think my dog was barking. So tell me about that
piece of art. Who is it? Somebody famous? Is it a local artist? Yeah. So it is a famous artist
actually. And I can't remember her name right now, but I obtained it in a funny way. It was
the first thing I ever picked. And, uh, I, I was 11 years old and my mom's best friend had just
lost her husband and he was a collector of art. And, uh, you know, he was this guy who was friends
with like Andy Warhol and a lot of famous artists. And, uh, this was hidden behind the washing
machine of their cottage because they all hated it, but it was his favorite and they couldn't
get rid of it. And I found it covered in a garbage bag behind the washing machine. And I said,
this is the most beautiful thing ever. And they're like, really? Like, you can just take
it kid. So they just gave it to me. And so it's, uh, it's always been something that's brought me
a lot of peace and, uh, staring at it. And yeah. It's funny that it brings you peace, David. Cause
that's about what I feel like my brain looked like after my last final. And so there's something to
be said for that. Someone's torment is someone's peace. Okay. I'm going to fire you 10 silly
questions. Are you ready? Let's go. I'm ready. I'm buckled in. Do you have a cat, a dog? Are you
a no pet? Do you want someone else's pet? How do you feel about pets? I love pets. Um, no cats,
no dogs right now, just because I didn't have time when I was in ministry. And, and I think for me,
that longing for a pet, I always was always like, I didn't want to replace that because I've,
I have a longing to get married and have a family. Right. And so I didn't want to replace that with
a pet yet, but I love animals. Um, cat is on a cat by cat basis, but any dog you're good to go.
I feel you about that with the cats, but I am a dog person.
That's awesome.
I love that answer.
Okay, so besides water, what is your beverage of choice?
So like, it's gonna sound really lame,
but like I love root beer and like specifically,
I also love Verner's, which is a drink from Michigan.
We can't always get it here in Canada,
but it's definitely a childhood favorite, so yeah.
That's awesome, I love it.
I've learned my fiance might be more addicted to Diet Coke
than I am to caffeine,
but we can't give each other crap
because we both drink too much of our things.
So there you go.
Okay, do you have a nickname
and is there a story behind it?
Yeah, so my nickname is called Birdie
because when I was little, I had big blue eyes
and my skin was jaundiced and my head was this size.
No, but I had a big head and a little body that was yellow.
So I looked like Tweety Bird.
And so they called me Tweety
and then they're like, well, we can't really call a boy
Tweety, so let's just call him Birdie.
And so Birdie or Bird has always been my nickname.
Awesome, okay.
Spencer, stay on Spencer,
cause you are up after David.
So I see you're writing on there.
I love that.
Oh my gosh, that might be my most adorable story.
Okay, here's a silly one.
Do you make your bed every day?
I do and I also shave every day because I'm an old man.
That is hilarious.
That's awesome.
Okay, do you squeeze the toothpaste from the middle
or do you roll gently from the bottom?
You know, I think it depends on the type of toothpaste.
I, like if it's an aluminum one,
like I have to like dial it up, but I just squeeze it.
But I mean, if it bothers people,
I'm like, just get two different tubes of toothpaste, like.
It's just, you know, I love asking these
like funny, quirky questions
cause some people can get really bent out of shape.
To put the toilet paper over or under, you never know.
Okay, do you leave the dishes in the sink at night
for the morning or do they go right in the dishwasher?
So that's a good tip or a good, a really great question.
And I think I, it depends on my energy level.
So, but I often tell myself, you know what?
If you start the day with a clean sink,
you're gonna immediately sleep better and feel better.
And so, and I like the idea of like,
hey, no matter what kind of day it is,
that's your grounding is you can do your dishes.
And yeah.
Awesome, I love it.
That's great.
Okay, if you have a, if you could have a superpower,
what would it be?
Definitely, I think the ability to take away pain.
Not heal everybody, but just take away people's pain.
Cause I think there's just a lot.
Okay, you're such a good man.
Mine is like, I want to fly.
If you want to solve world peace, I love that.
That was truly the most sweetest answer on the planet.
I've asked that question a billion times
and pretty sure no one's ever been that altruistic.
So that tells me a lot about your character.
That's awesome.
Okay, number eight, when you go on a vacation,
are you more like beach, mountains, snow, or tourist city?
All of it.
Very different styles.
You might say all of them, it just depends,
but you know how some people are like,
I'm just a beach person or man, get me to the slopes.
I'm a mountain climber or I love touring the big city.
So some people, or you could say all of them,
but some people gravitate towards one.
So I definitely think, I love reading a book on the beach,
but I would say my favorite vacation is staying home
and just like being a bit of a homebody,
but just planning to do activities at home.
But you wouldn't say no to a vacation.
No, no, I love a good time.
And I love like a planned vacation.
And I'm really like, and I also love exploring,
but I'm a big snow guy.
So like, I love the sun, but like I would much rather like,
I'm saving up to go to Alaska.
Like that's the dream to go on a cruise there.
I love that.
That's awesome.
Okay, if you were gonna go to a potluck,
what is the item you would probably bring with you
that you would probably bring to the potluck?
Okay, so I'm gonna be honest.
It depends.
I want to be honest.
I'd rather you not lie.
Well, I hope not, right?
I hope we can be honest here.
So I think one of the things that I would bring,
it depends, like if my friends are inviting me,
like, hey Dave, we want to introduce you
to someone after potluck,
then that will change what I'm gonna bring
to the potluck, right?
So like if there's someone that my friends
want to introduce me to,
I'll probably bring a main and a dessert,
but I like to make my own bulgogi, which is fun.
Or I often will do my mom's chili
if it's like a Super Bowl.
But if my friends are introducing me to like,
hey, we want to introduce you to someone at the potluck,
then I will make my own fudge.
So sometimes I'll make pistachio fudge
or like Nutella fudge,
but that's my like.
Okay.
Amazing.
I love it.
I'll make fudge.
Okay.
I'm going to get a little more thoughtful for you.
Let's go.
Share a part of your story that you're most proud of.
Yeah.
I think when I was 16,
I really struggled with some suicide.
And so I think like that's an area
that the Lord really healed me from
and I won't get into it and I'll put a pin in it,
but I think that's just something
that I'm really glad that God has delivered me from.
And then I've been able to help many people
who have struggled with that since.
So it's been a really lovely story.
I am so proud of you, Dave, for sharing that
and normalizing talking about that.
That is how we keep people safe.
So thank you for talking about that.
Number two, what do your friends say
they love most about you?
I think my friends would say that I'm a good listener
and pretty funny.
And also that I always have everything they need.
So my neighbors, she has a three-year-old girl
and they played a game
and they wrote down all these random things.
They're like, I wonder if David will have this.
And so one of them was like, she loves crystals.
And so she's like, I want a quartz sphere.
And so they were like, oh, he's not going to have the sphere.
And so when I pulled out,
they needed a TV and some other things.
And so I had all that.
But then when I pulled out the sphere,
the little girl was like, you have all the treasure.
Love it.
I love it.
Dave, you're so much fun.
Okay.
What do you wish more people knew about you?
The fact that I love poetry and art.
And yeah, I think that's something
that is something that's really important to me.
And the fact that I'm the youngest of five boys.
So that's a fun fact.
God bless that.
God bless your poor mother with all that testosterone.
Yeah, she had five sons and a master's degree by 29.
Can you imagine?
Oh my God.
In the eighties too.
No, I mean, I needed to quit my full-time job
to do my master's and I'm dying.
I cannot imagine raising five kids while doing that.
Okay.
Let's see.
What, if you could go back in time,
what advice would you give your high school self or college,
whichever age you feel like they needed the most?
Yeah, I think you need to just let God be God
and, you know, just let things be.
And yeah, and I think like, just,
hey, you know what?
Like my favorite quote is I'm not God.
This is in heaven.
Don't be a jerk.
And I think I would definitely tell that to college Dave
is that, hey, the world is not over.
And there's such a thing as grace and repentance
and forgiveness and just keep going.
So good.
What is a bucket list item you would like to do
with your future spirit mate?
Oh yeah.
I'd love to go on a cruise.
I think that would be just so much fun.
We went on one cruise with my family,
but my brothers are all motion sick.
And so I've always wanted to go back.
So that's like a dream of mine is to just go on a cruise.
And I also-
You're either a cruise person or you're not.
I thought I was not and my sister forced me on a few
and I now love them.
So yeah.
Awesome.
Do you have a particular place on a cruise you want to go
or just anywhere?
So I mentioned Alaska.
That would be fun.
And I really want to go on the month long cruise
to the fjords.
So there's a bunch of places that you can only really get to
and also Svalbard in the Arctic.
So that's a, you can only really get there by boat.
So those are my goals.
Again, it's snow.
I love it.
Okay.
What character of God is really resonating with you lately?
So like, you know, we know that God heals.
We know that God is our provider.
We know that he is the, you know,
Jesus is the lion and the lamb.
And so there's so many aspects of Jesus
and there's so many aspects of the Holy Spirit.
There's so many aspects of God, the father.
So is there one that's like,
I just need my daddy right now, right?
I just need my, you know, like in different seasons
of our life, there's an attribute of God
that we're kind of hanging on to.
So is there any one that's kind of hanging on
for you right now?
Yeah.
I think my biggest one is, I would say,
is probably like God being Jehovah Jireh, my provider,
and that God will provide no matter what.
And so it always used to be El Roy.
He's the God who sees me.
Yeah.
But during this season of last year single for this,
you know, the six weeks that I've been in this course
or seven weeks is that it's really been,
I'm your provider and let me provide.
And let me provide, not just, you know,
like physical, financially, but let me provide emotionally.
Let me provide spiritually.
Let me, give me all the burden
that you're trying to solve yourself and let me provide.
And that has been so humbling to just be like,
oh, you already knew this.
You've been with me the whole time.
That you're constantly with me, no matter what I do,
no matter where I go, you're always with me.
And even when I mess up, that's been.
It's so humbling, like,
because when I screw up or I do something stupid,
I'm like, hey God, you're still there.
You're still providing.
You never left.
You're still here.
By the way, Dave, women are loving your answers.
And so I, and I am too.
And I did a good job giving you all the answers last night.
I'm kidding.
I did not, you guys.
He is genuinely talking from the heart.
Renee, you can't give our secrets away.
That was a secret talk for many groups.
You broke the rules.
So tell us, what are you looking for?
What are some characters, traits, things that are really,
that are like, I really want these things
in my spirit mate.
Yeah, so for me, it's looking for someone
who is lined up with the Lord.
And that's your plan and your focus.
And everyone says, I want a man or a woman
who loves the Lord.
But, and I'm not mocking that, but it's like, okay,
this is everything.
And raising a Christian family,
I always thought missions had to be out.
It wasn't in the home.
And then I realized, hey, my parents were missionaries.
They both were non-Christians and said,
we want a Christian home.
And God rescued them.
And they raised my brothers and I to be Christians.
And so I think that that is the mission field.
And that's something.
And I think my one caveat,
and I don't really have like a list of no's or yes's.
The only thing is, is that it's really important to me
that me and my spirit mate would both be Canadian citizens
or she would be willing to obtain Canadian citizenship.
That's really important to me.
Thank you for bringing that up.
Because a few people asked that in the chat.
And so you guys, and I've talked to Dave about this.
And so it's not that Dave would not be willing
to meet an American.
If you're going to want to spend time in America,
he wants y'all to have dual citizenship
so that you can toggle back and forth.
100%.
Yep.
And so hopefully that makes sense.
So I don't know.
I'm all about the dual citizenship.
I'm going to try to get my Italian dual citizenship
at some point.
Okay.
It'll open doors.
And I love Americans.
So this is not like, I love my American.
Yes, do not be afraid to ask.
Do not be afraid of that.
I think it's so important.
Okay.
What do you think are green flags
that first attract you to women?
Like when you first meet her,
whether it's the video call or the first date,
what are the things that pop out to you?
This is like to help educate the women
that are on this call.
Like if they're listening, kind of going,
what do you notice first that really says,
gosh, that's a green flag?
I think for me, it's how they speak to me.
Are you speaking with kindness and respect
in a genuine way?
Are you, yeah.
Are you being genuine?
And I think,
because sometimes people can say things to manipulate,
but they can also say things that are genuine and kind.
And when someone just says something to me that's genuine,
I'm like, oh, hey, that's a green flag.
And I think also like having a good relationship
with your parents, but how you're treating people.
How are you talking about those in your family
that you love or even talking about people
that have hurt you?
I went on a date with somebody and she was so kind
talking about people that had just really hurt her,
but she'd done a lot of hard work
and this person was able to really just talk so gracefully
about a very difficult situation.
So good, I love that.
Okay, Dave, this is your chance to tell the community
anything about yourself that I did not ask you about
that you think is important to you.
Yeah, so I love poetry and I actually prepared a poem.
Is it okay if I read it?
You asked me to.
You guys, a poem, we got a poem, I love it.
Okay, so, and I think one thing that I prepared too
is that something that I really learned in this course
is that journaling is really hard for me
to write down what I'm feeling and my emotions
and to actually keep a record of it
because in the past, when I was in high school,
people would steal my journal or my poems
and they would read it.
And it's kind of like, if you've watched Lizzie McGuire
and if you're in my demographic, you'd understand,
but like there's this episode
where someone steals Lizzie McGuire's notebook
and she reads it to Ethan, her crash,
or same with Boy Meets World.
There's an episode where Topanga's crashed,
Eric reads the letter or Saved by the Bell.
So that happened to me a lot.
And one of the biggest things,
actually my first week I didn't,
I did all the journaling, but I would delete them.
And then the Lord said, you need to start keeping these.
And so the fact that I actually was willing
to actually start writing,
and then it was kind of like the Lord's like,
here's your voice again.
So here's your inner child, here's your voice,
it's coming back.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So this is called Night Forage by Birdie Carroll,
which is my pen name.
At dusk we forage to dodge the heat of month's end.
Raspberries on the edge of the path.
For my nephews, they have a fondness of berries.
Using them as water goblets.
A rustling of branches.
Fear startles me to scream.
A skunk.
a dance growling we forge in solitude keeping our distance we are not friends not acquaintances
overhead a full moon before us a skunk's white belly stained red we sink into the bleakness of
dark mixed with moonlight wow okay so on your first date with one of these ladies that's going
to be out with you you're gonna have to explain all of that that is amazing i know i mean the
greenest of flags nina's like he knows lizzie mcguire boy meets world i mean i'm just saying
boy meets world is the best show okay so somebody asked what your age range was you're 33
so is there a minus in your age that you are willing to go i'm so glad they asked that because
i was like oh that's the one thing i didn't answer i was nervous so i'm not sure i asked you anyway
so you're all good um so i think for me um my family's all older and so uh that's important
to me and so i think like around my age like 33 maybe a couple years younger but really like 33
or like 10 years but i don't really have an age range to be honest but i think around that 10
10 years it's kind of like perfect i think it's fair but i mean if you're the right person
you're the right person so that's what matters uh and also with with kids you know what like
my family we have the motto of hey you know what there's lots of little guys so if you have a
little guy they're gonna fit right in so that is not at all a deal breaker for me um
or my family and you know i love it yeah well david it was so much fun um with you tonight and
i'm gonna pass the baton to the next person but collie thank you so much ladies um if you are
interested in just getting to know david when you email the email at admin at jackiedorman.com
you want to make sure that you have a close-up photo of you a full-length photo of you and give
us a little bit of information about yourself same thing just to make sure um that you're a good match
and david will review hopefully review those with um i'm not sure who this person is that
takes care of that but bam all right david thank you so much i really appreciate it
okie dokie now he was so good y'all all right spencer are you still here and that phil are you
here let's see i want to make sure i'm scrolling look at all you got all the hearts y'all i mean
all right i don't see phil spencer are you still here yeah can you hear me yeah i can but i got to
find you on here so i could highlight you there we go let's see spotlight for everyone i'm getting
so proud of myself that i'm learning how to do this all right so yeah can you hear me i can hear
you perfectly perfect okay so spencer um you kind of have the upper hand a little bit because you
kind of heard some of those questions so um it might help you you know um answer them so are
you ready the first question is you get a chance to just spend a couple minutes telling us a little
bit about yourself you want to give us your name your age where you live do you have kids do you
want kids um what do you do for a living can you relocate and then what's one thing about you that
you are most proud of about yourself so you got four opening two minutes sounds good to me um
if i miss any questions please uh rephrase them just let me know that i missed some and just uh
just kind of keep me in the loop if you can i appreciate i i'm i'm one of those i have to i have
to read lips while uh doing a video call am i okay oh i can i can i can see you great my roommate
used to be that my roommate was deaf i had a deaf roommate and he used to have to read my lips so i
tried to remember to look at you when i'm talking that that's perfect okay um good evening my name
is spencer um i am 47 years old i live in a little small town southwest of dallas texas
his actual name is venus texas there is a venus texas um which is actually the tv capital of
johnson county um it's a little town uh county south of fort worth uh we've had like major tv
shows and even movies made here in this little small town uh yellowstone actually was uh here
about i think two three years ago very cool anyways yeah anyway so um
now i'm getting lost in trying to thought um can you give me some questions no no okay so
you told us how you uh where you live what do you do for a living yes i um i am a facility
technician which we basically working in maintenance at the federal
Reserve Bank of Dallas.
Okay, awesome.
Great, now, so you're in Dallas,
and are you stuck in Dallas?
Would you be willing to relocate, date long distance?
How open to that?
I could relocate somewhere within Texas.
My biggest hangup, and this probably gonna have to be,
if I was, quote, quote, was to relocate,
because of my hearing disability,
I've been able to gain access to so many programs
that help me with my disability,
and that's the reason why I stay in state
in which I'm originally from, Oklahoma,
but Texas is much more disability-friendly
than most other states that I'm aware of.
So that's another reason why I choose to live in Texas,
because of those support for disability people.
Great, now, do you also sign?
Very little, not a whole lot.
I did take a college class in that.
Funny story, I should mention that,
because I actually took that college class twice.
So the deaf guy failed the ASL test?
I'm just kidding.
Yeah, because I was too lazy.
You're, but here's what that tells me.
So ladies, like, don't be intimidated by it.
Like, it is possible to be in relationship with somebody,
and obviously, Spencer doesn't even sign,
so he can communicate just okay,
and I feel like technology has moved so fast.
So ladies, if you ever are trying to date men,
and they don't wanna get on camera and see you in person,
here's a great guy that's never gonna wanna
just text with you,
and he's always gonna wanna be able to see you.
Okay, do you have kids?
Do you want kids?
If the opportunity is there, yes.
Here's the deal.
Bottom line, I truly want to meet my best friend.
That is my heart's desire,
is to really be with my best friend.
If she's a little older,
and from an age perspective, can't have kids, that's okay.
If she's younger, and she wants kids,
that'd be great too.
So I'm kind of open both ways.
Love it, I love it so much.
That's awesome.
Okay, Phil, somebody just asked,
can you tell us your age again?
I think I forgot.
Your age again?
Your age?
Oh, my age is 47.
I thought you said 47.
Okay, 47.
You look so young for your age.
No, I'm not even gonna say for your age.
You look young.
I'm gonna go full on with the compliment.
Okay, so are you ready for the fast questions,
the short answer?
Let's do that.
Okay, so do you have a cat, a dog?
Do you not like pets?
Are you okay with pets?
Well, personally, I live in town,
and where I live, I do not,
I cannot have animals,
but I do have some animals at my parents' place.
I have two horses of my own
that I keep with my dad's horses.
They sit on about 20 acres of grass,
and they eat grass all day,
and I sometimes ride them.
We have some barn cats.
I know today is quote-unquote National Dog Day,
but about a year and a half ago,
I did have a dog,
but he was unfortunately passed away.
Okay, great.
Well, obviously, you know I have a dog
since my dog decided to speak up.
I love dogs.
I mean, I'll tell you what, I love dogs.
That's awesome, and you love horses,
so that's even better.
Okay, besides water,
what is a beverage you most reach for?
Unsweet tea, actually.
Unsweet tea, okay.
I love it.
Yeah.
I'm from the South, so that didn't surprise me.
Okay, do you have a nickname?
Actually, I do.
My dad always, since my name is Spencer,
and I always was very fast as a young man,
he always called me Spinner Man.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it.
You know, spin like a top, you know.
I was always very active and very quick.
I love it.
Okay, do you make your bed every day?
I do.
That's a no, ladies.
You're just eating.
I do.
No.
Because sometimes, sometimes, I wake up-
No shame in this game, Spencer.
I'll wake up like a bear coming out of hibernation.
I need my coffee as soon as I wake up.
Dude, I'm with you.
It's the first thing I do.
I'm with you.
Okay, do you squeeze the toothpaste from the middle
or do you gently roll it up from the bottom?
I gently roll it up.
I love it.
Okay.
I got, the toothpaste I got is actually very good.
It's a little more on the expensive side.
It's more of a natural type toothpaste.
So I try to squeeze every cent I have.
I love it.
That's awesome.
Okay, do you leave dishes in the sink
or do you fill up the dishwasher right away?
I fill up the dishwasher.
I better fill up that dishwasher.
Ladies, he makes his bed after he gets his coffee.
He rolls up the toilet, the toothpaste nicely
and he puts his dishes away.
Love it.
Okay, if you could have a superpower, what would it be?
Huh.
Actually, I would love to make sure that everybody is fed.
Is what?
No, everybody, you know, every, you know,
people all around the world, you know,
we got world hunger and, you know, people across the world.
I love it.
You know, you can't function without, you know,
some food in your belly.
I love it.
That's awesome.
Like two for two.
You guys tonight, are you hearing these men
like wanting to do these good things?
And I'm the, you know, I'm like the selfish girl
that just wanted to learn how to fly.
All right.
If you're going on vacation, where would you prefer to go?
The beach, the mountains, like hiking, skiing, snow,
or like a tour of a city or something,
like lots of sightseeing and tourism?
Well, I have toured lots of cities.
So beaches and mountains are kind of not,
those are places I haven't gotten to be a whole lot.
I haven't gotten to see a whole lot.
Well, you gotta understand here in Texas,
we don't have mountains.
Now we got beaches, but they're about five hours away.
Yeah.
Yeah, you sure don't.
You sure don't.
It's a big state too.
Okay.
If you were going to a potluck,
what item would you bring to the potluck?
Y'all gonna love this.
I'm gonna bring a whole dish of bacon-wrapped jalapenos.
Woo-hoo!
I like that.
I make the best bacon-wrapped jalapenos,
I'm telling you.
Nice, I believe you.
And I think you should mail some to Nashville, Tennessee.
I'm just saying, I'd be happy to test it for you.
Okay, those are awesome.
All right, those were the fun questions.
Are you ready for me to get more serious?
Sure.
Okay.
Share us a part of your story that you're most proud of.
I am actually most proud of
overcoming other people's opinions about me in my past.
I used to, as a young man,
if somebody said something wrong
or said something mean or hurtful
or something along that line,
I would just, you know, take offense to that.
But I have learned to grow up and grow past it,
and I had to realize that
those were other people's opinions about me.
They didn't walk a mile on my shoes
and they never asked me questions
about why they ever thought that way.
And the way I look at it now is
everybody has their own opinions.
I got my own opinions as well,
just because somebody else's opinion,
what they said, what they think is true,
99% of the time, it's not true.
So we should take emotions out of
what everybody says because I think it's human nature
to try to see what everybody else
is really saying about us.
And, but there are just some people in this world
that just got different opinions than others,
and that's just the way it is.
And we can't live, our life is too short
to live for other people's opinions.
I love it, I love it.
That's so good, that's so good.
Okay, so what do your friends currently say
they love most about you?
Repeat that one more time.
Yeah, what do your friends say they love most about you?
That I'm friendly, I'm kind, I listen, understanding.
A lot of them will tell you that,
I will listen to everything they have to say
before I say something back.
or I respond or reply,
that I really think deeply about what is being said
and then consider what they're talking about
and then respond in kind what they need to hear.
Love it, I love it, that's so good.
Spencer, people are really enjoying your answers,
by the way, so you don't have time to read it,
but I'm just gonna let you know I can see it.
Okay, so what is one thing
you wish more people knew about you?
Well, I'm glad you said that,
because I am an author.
What?
I love it, tell us about that book.
Yeah, so basically that book happens to talk
about how to overcome depression and suicidal thoughts.
As a young man, I struggled with that
and I know there are too many people today
deal with depression and suicidal thoughts,
even at this moment,
and I wish I could just reach out to them and say,
hey, I've been in your shoes, I know how it feels.
I know how it feels to feel hopeless.
It doesn't have to be, you don't have to end it.
You don't have to end it,
because I'm a walking testimony because of that.
I love that, Spencer.
I feel like you brought it up and Dave brought it up
and I've always shared with folks,
I have a Celtic Trinity sign and I put it on my wrist
after one of my high school friends committed suicide.
And I have struggled with depression
and the dark night of the soul.
And I have talked about that
and I think we need to continue to talk about it.
So thank you for being honest about that,
I really appreciate it.
Okay, if you could go back to high school,
what would you tell your high school self?
Basically two things, I'd tell him,
number one, you don't have to stay where you're at.
There is an old line that says, go West, young man.
I'd tell him, go East, young man.
That's where you'll be living, going East.
And number two,
find you some mentors.
Find you some mentors.
Find you some godly, good, Christian-centered men
who can help you because you can't be a Christian
by yourself.
So good, so, so good, I love it.
Okay, somebody just asked, can you put your book back up
so we can see the title of your book?
What's the title of your book?
What is the title of your book?
Oh, sure, sure.
The title of my book is called Sunshine in the Window.
It's not in print anymore, but.
There you go, I love it.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that.
Okay, what is a bucket list item
that you want to share with your future wife?
Oh, wow, there's so many of them.
Exploring a new country together.
I love that, I love that, so good.
That's so fun to answer.
Okay, all right, what character of God right now
is really resonating with you?
There's so many characters of either God the Father,
Son, Spirit, and at different season of our lives,
we gravitate towards a part of Him.
What part is really grabbing you right now?
God.
Getting a little emotional right now.
God's faithfulness through tough times.
Best way I can describe it,
you know, I've had some tough times recently.
I've had some tough times recently,
but He's showing me that He is faithful, He is faithful.
Love it, okay, I'm giving you a big virtual hug right now,
as are many women, I'm sure, listening to you right now.
God is faithful, and He has taken all of us through stuff.
So thank you, Spencer,
thank you for sharing your heart with us.
I really, okay, what are you looking for
in your spirit mate, besides best friend,
because I heard you say that earlier,
what other qualities are you hoping she has?
Qualities.
I love a woman.
When they're sweet, sweet-spirited, she's approachable,
but she's also an industrious person, a hard-working person.
I'm a hard-working guy myself,
and I just, the energy of a hard-working woman,
it just, you know, it just resonates with me.
And, you know, it just, you know,
it encourages me to do my best
and to work as hard as I can.
And I just hope that the energy that, you know,
she gives me, I can give back to her.
It's just like a ping-pong effect,
and I just hope that just continues.
Awesome, okay, so while I'm asking you
about your spirit mate,
do you have an age range of what you're looking for?
Do you care?
Um, from the youngest I can,
youngest, you know, woman I would take,
it'd probably be about 33 and up to,
I'm going to say 48-ish, so.
Okay, I'm going to encourage you, Spencer,
if there is a 49, because you're 47,
so if there's a 49 to 52-year-old fabulous fit woman,
like, look, I'm 57.
Some of us look really good for our age.
So I'm going to encourage you to be open.
So ladies, if you match his season of life
and his age range, you know, be willing to go.
But, you know, if you're amazing and fabulous
and you're a couple of years older than him,
I'm going to encourage Spencer to be a little bit open
to that possibility, right?
Exactly, I definitely, you know,
if she, you know, got all the qualities I'm looking for,
but she's 52, I'm all for it.
Perfect, all right, that's what I like to hear.
Okay, if you could give advice to the ladies here
in her dating pursuit,
what would you like to say to her to encourage her?
Never settle, never settle for just any guy.
Just make sure you know what you want and go for it.
I love that, I love that, that's so awesome.
Is there anything about yourself that I did not ask you
that you want to share with everybody here?
I know you didn't ask, but I can tell you one thing,
I'm looking forward to going on plenty of road trips.
Plenty of road trips, I love that, I love that.
Okay, so somebody just asked
if you are into health eating, right?
So where are you, like, do you eat pretty good?
You look like you work out, do you work out a little bit?
As a matter of fact, I do,
and as a matter of fact, after this call,
I am headed to go work out.
All right, I love that, get it, get it.
Okay, so ladies, you've met so far two incredible men.
Aaron corrected me, so I think Aaron and Cheryl,
if you guys can put the correct email,
I forgot there's a spotlight email
if you want to get to know any of these two men.
All right, Spencer, it was so fun getting to know you.
I hope a lot of women reach out to you
or reach out for somebody that they want you to meet,
no matter what, stay in this program,
get with the community,
there's a lot of great people in here,
and we loved having you tonight.
But stay on.
It's been a pleasure talking to you,
it's been a pleasure to introduce myself to everybody here.
And it's-
Also, Spencer, after you get off talking,
you can look at the chat and see all the nice things
that people have been saying to you, okay?
Okay, okay.
All right, I've got to find my buddy now,
where are you?
Where'd you go?
Oh, Tim, did Cheryl hook you up for me?
Cheryl, did you take care of it for me?
She's so good.
Look how good you look.
I love you in your little button-down shirt,
you're looking good tonight.
Okay.
It was your coaching that helped, you know?
Yeah, I gave the men some tips last night,
I'm like, you did perfect.
Although I am in the car, you know,
I don't need the car.
Whenever.
All right, hold on, I got to mute somebody
who is not muted, there we go.
Okay, sorry about that.
Wait, did I just mute you?
Wait, I just muted you.
Hold on, crap, I just muted you.
So, oh crap.
Can you get your voice back up?
Cheryl, can you fix what I just did?
Dang it.
There we go.
Can you hear me now?
Yes, okay.
Somebody else was talking and I was trying to mute that one
and I muted you.
See, you know, all right. Okay. So have you been on this whole time?
Yes, ma'am. I have so you've been crafting your answer. So the challenge is you got to be better than them. I'm just kidding
I'm kidding right
There's no competition. All right. So the opening question is tell us your name. Where do you live your age?
Do you have kids do you want kids?
Um, do you have a hopefully you have a job? Do you want to relocate? Can you relocate heck?
No to that and then tell us one thing about yourself that you are most proud of
Okay. So hi, my name is Tim McAuliffe
Those right there. I live in Dallas, Dallas, Texas
I'm 55. I
Let's see, I don't have any kids I
Would open to kids I've always I like kids
I'm a little bit of a kid at heart as well. But
Let's see my
For job. I'm a doctor. I have a clinic here in in the Dallas area
Would be honestly
Realistically, I own my own
Practice. So if I were employed by a hospital or something, it'd be easy to relocate
But I built my own, you know practice over these years with that don't apologize Tim you got it
Yeah, so so can't really relocate, you know practically. So what kind of doctor are you?
Well, I have a actually it's mainly with men. It's a believe it or not the vasectomy and circumcision clinic
So a lot of snipping and clipping
and then I do a little bit of
Kind of a side side gig of like a med spa
Some Botox and fillers and things
I mean I can make so many inappropriate jokes right now. It's not going to
Of all things yeah
Sound like a moyle with all those circumcision. So see okay for those of you that don't know my history
I ran a pregnancy center for 20 years and
So my filters really low on certain
Okay. Are you ready for the fun questions?
Yes. Yes, ma'am. Okay cat dog. No pets hate pets like pets
You know, I don't have any pets. I I love dogs
My neighbor has a dog named buddy and I get to say hello to him pretty much every night. He's a great tyrannies
and I
Had a couple outdoor cats actually I kind of live on a little bit of I mean not land but I live on
You know like an acre and so
Those cat they ran away. I guess I did wasn't nice enough to him. But but I do love I love animals
If I were to get a pet, I definitely get a dog like a big dog
Awesome, great. Okay besides water since you are doctor. I'm assuming you drink water. I'm kidding
What is your beverage of choice?
coffee
Although I try to I'll have a cup in the morning usually cup at noon
So, yeah, are you are you a black coffee? How do you take your coffee?
You know, I like a little bit of coffee with my half-and-half basically
So that's a lot of actually I use the I use the heavy whipping the heavy cream
Heavy whipping cream with it. So I know this stuff. I understand. I love it
You know, have you all like the fact that can you tell him a Yankee that I keep saying coffee?
All right, do you have a nickname and is there a story behind it I
Do it's it's Mac MAC Mac last name is McAuliffe. And so
in the fraternity house in college one of the guys who called me McAuliffe and then it became Mac and and
Then Mac man, so
Yeah, so when I'm talking to myself around, you know in my own mind
Internal speak I refer to myself as Mac. So it's kind of
Stuck I love that all three of you had a nickname and it would have been really awkward if you're all like now
I don't really have anything. Okay
So do you want me to call you Tim or Mac? What would you prefer? Oh Tim, you know
You may have answered this and I am already old and brain cells are dying
Did you say if you want kids?
Have kids. Yeah, I've always wanted kids. I sure love to have kids
You know again, it depends on the girl
I've dated girls that don't have kids that want kids. I've dated girls have kids
I've dated like older women have grandkids. So I'm pretty open
You know what that I love it. Yeah, if it's a younger
Younger woman. Yeah, I'd be delighted to have kids, you know, I'm I'm 55, but you know, I
What is what is so what is the like the you know, I don't know I don't know
What is the like the youngest you would date them, you know, honestly I would go
I've met some people who are more mature at 31 than 51.
So at 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, honestly, I'm pretty,
pretty wide open.
You're looking for somebody, as Jackie would say,
you're looking somebody who matches your season of life
and your energy.
Right, right.
I'm pretty energetic.
I like to stay pretty active.
And so, so for me, it's just,
it's just more about the individual than her age.
So.
Perfect.
I love it.
You're giving women on this call hope tonight.
Okay.
Do you make your bed?
I bet you, you do.
You know, I do.
It's pretty simple.
I just kind of, you pull the covers up.
It takes like two seconds.
So.
Okay, you clearly don't sprawl.
I mean, when I hear people say that,
my fans say, he says he can make the bed in one swoop too.
But if you've seen the way I sleep and my dog,
we definitely do not sleep that nicely.
So that is awesome.
Okay.
Do you squeeze the toothpaste from the middle
or roll it up from the bottom?
Both, you know,
the middle squeezer towards the beginning
with as it gets lower toward the end,
I'm definitely going to, you know,
feed that remain toothpaste toward the top.
Use, utilize all of it.
I love that.
Do you leave dishes in the sink
or do you put them right in the dishwasher?
Well, I'll in the sink if it needs to soak, right?
But then I'll put it in the dishwasher.
Yeah, I definitely don't let them pile up.
Okay.
Awesome.
I love it.
Okay.
If you could have a superpower and be selfish like me,
what would it be?
I'm kidding.
I'm going to be a little more selfish, you know,
rather than the world peace.
I would love to be able to fly and fly fast.
Then I could just fly to work, you know,
go over all that traffic
and be at work in like five minutes.
See, fellow flyer.
I'm just saying, a fellow flyer.
Except my flying thing, whenever I have dreams,
my flying thing was always about how I escaped.
So it was always my escape plan,
but yours sounds way more practical.
Okay.
If you're going on vacation, you hitting the beach,
the mountains, snow, or tourist city?
You know, I like all of the above,
but my favorite, honestly, is Colorado in the summer.
It's, you know, low humidity.
It's like 75 degrees.
I love the mountains.
I like to ski also, but yeah, in the summer,
Colorado hiking, you know,
whitewater rafting, those types of things.
So, yeah.
All right.
Love it.
If you were going to a potluck, what do you bring in?
Chips and queso.
I'm in Texas, Texas, right?
So it's gotta be a chips and queso guy.
Okay, do you have a brand,
do you have a brand that you like, boom,
or do you like whatever you can find?
Oh, for the queso?
Mm-hmm.
Well, you know, I got-
Sometimes we use chips and queso.
Some people don't care, but some people are like,
no, it's gotta be this.
Right.
You know, I do have a little secret, you know,
so I don't know if I can share it
on this type of a public forum.
I'm just kidding.
Hey, you know what?
On the first date, you can talk about that.
I love it.
That's right.
My secret ingredients.
Topic of conversation.
That is hilarious.
I love it.
Okay, so we're getting a little bit more serious.
So share part of your story that you are most proud of.
Yeah, so I would say that,
that, oh gosh, probably, probably, you know,
the biggest leap of faith that I took
is, was when I was out of college initially.
I've had a few careers, but I was an accountant
and I left accounting to join full-time vocational ministry.
And my parents weren't believers yet.
So they thought I was joining the cult.
They thought I was crazy.
They didn't disown me, but, you know,
they came close to it.
But as a result, the Lord used that to bring them to Christ.
You know, they trusted Christ.
And so that was definitely a big, big leap of faith.
So I'm proud of that, you know, in a good way.
So.
I love that.
Thank you for sharing.
What do your friends say they love about most,
what they love most about you?
Yeah, so I would say that they like,
I am fun.
I like to have fun.
I like, you know,
I like doing ministry with international students.
We do some ministry with some students from Iran.
And so my close friend who's actually a vocational minister,
he appreciates my involvement, you know,
with the students kind of, you know,
trying to go with a great commission.
And I would say they would say I'm trustworthy
and compassionate.
You know, my spiritual gift usually ends up being like
helps or like service,
which I don't like that spiritual gift,
but, you know, I'd rather be like preaching or,
you know, like one of those, you know,
but I have that gift of like encouragement and help.
And that's what the Lord gives me.
I run with it.
Please run with it.
You know, Brian is,
has been an ICU nurse his whole life and now an educator
and he's an helper.
And man, helpers are important and we, we, it's so important.
I'm just going to say it's important.
We can be the, we are, we are all the hand and not the head
and not the foot and the tail.
All right.
Okay.
If you could go back and talk to your high school self, what
would you say to that person?
You know, I would say, you know, trust Christ now and walk with the Lord.
I trusted Christ, a senior of college.
Um, but I, I would say, you know, walk with the Lord and that's the, that's
the greatest way to have a abundant life, a wonderful life, a most fulfilling life.
Um, um, yeah.
And I would also say, actually, you know, we're not in high school, but
probably, you know, after college, I'd say like, Hey, find a, find the
golly Christian girl and pursue her.
You know, I, I spent a long time, uh, uh, in the, in the library with, uh,
you know, pre-med, med school and everything, residency.
And so I would, I would give that advice of, you know, Hey, you don't
need to wait, uh, so long to pursue a girl who could have studied with you.
Maybe.
Um, okay.
What's a bucket list item you would like to do with your future spirit mate?
Yeah, I would like to, um, travel to New Zealand.
My aunt and uncle live in New Zealand and I spent two months there after
between med school and residency.
And it was just so, uh, you know, beautiful, exotic, fun.
You have mountain, you know, you have, you're looking at the beach at a
palm tree and you look back and then you see a snow cap mountains.
And so I'd really like to go back there, um, with my spirit mate
and visit aunt and uncle and travel.
All right.
Um, I'm going to jump in with a question.
Somebody has for you because it's a good one, but, um, I think this is
applicable to anybody, you guys, just because he's a doctor that doesn't make
this a question because Jackie just talked about margin on Saturday, but
somebody said, you know, you are a doctor.
Do you feel like you've got a good handle on work life balance?
Yeah.
Great question.
You know, I I'm very grateful because, um, my clinic is eight 30 to four 30
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and then Thursdays I work a half day and Tuesdays
I'm off, I'll do like some paperwork, administrative work, so it's just
three and a half days a week, you know?
So I work less than most of my friends actually.
I mean, you guys, he's a snipping and zipping.
So people schedule those appointments.
Yeah.
And then once a month I just go do a 24 hour ER shift, you know, stuff like my
once a month, like one day working really hard.
Yeah.
Um, but other than that, it's a pretty, you know, I don't, I'm off every,
every night, every weekend.
That's great.
I love it.
Okay.
Um, if you could learn something new, what would it be?
Oh, good question.
Um, it'd be Spanish, you know, I know some Spanish, but I've been, uh, in my
clinic, well, I knew more Spanish when I lived in Nebraska, but down here I feel
like everyone speaks English and everyone's bilingual, even if they're,
um, Latino, but, um, one of our staff, she is bilingual, but she might be leaving.
And so if she leaves and I will be, I'll need to, you know, get on my game there
with the Spanish.
So, um, so that might be on the, on the, you know, future horizon here.
So.
I love it.
Okay.
What character of God is resonating with you right now?
Hmm.
You know, I think it's really been God's gentleness, just learning that, um, you
know, I grew up thinking God was more of a distant, distant God.
Um, and so it's been over time that I've learned and even like such as watching
the chosen, you know, just seeing how, how kind that, that Jesus portrayal is.
And, and, um, thinking, wow, that, that my savior is that amazing.
And he's so, so awesome and compassionate and, and, uh, kindhearted.
And so it's just really, I think it's just realizing that God, you know, how
much he cares, how much he cares for me, you know, just like a parent, uh, for
child.
I love it.
So I love it.
So good.
You guys all gave such great answers with that tonight.
Okay.
So if you haven't already said it, tell us a little bit about what you're looking
for.
Oh, and a spirit mate, you know, I would like to, um, I do like someone who's fun.
Um, but, but someone, someone who can kind of joke around, but also can talk
deep about things.
I enjoy reading Christian books and, and listening to podcasts, um, about, you
know, different topics and things.
And so, um, just someone who enjoys, you know, talking about, uh, deep things,
you know, some theological topics or even just current events, you know, news and
things, but also we can just joke around and have fun.
Um, someone who likes to be, you know, fairly active.
I like to play a little bit of tennis.
I like to go, you know, go dancing, like there's this thing called West Coast Swing Dance,
which is really fun.
And so none of these things are just over the top athletic.
I like to run and, you know, lift weights and stuff, but just someone who likes to be,
you know, a little bit more of a kind of out and about doing some things, more so than
just someone who would want to really be at home all the time.
So I like to be home also.
I like to relax, but I do like to, you know, do fun things and try, you know, someone who'd
like to, who's okay with traveling and, and yeah, definitely, I mean, obviously the most,
the deal breaker is, you know, the walk with the Lord, heart with the Lord.
We probably all met a lot of people who say they're Christian or gone on dates who might
be saved.
But, you know, is that person sold out for Jesus and really in love for Jesus, Christ
is Christ's number one in that person's life.
So I want someone who loves the Lord more than she loves me.
You know, we know that's the most important part.
Yeah.
I didn't pay him to say that.
I'm just saying he's on his own.
Okay.
If you could give the ladies here any piece of advice, what would you share with them?
Hmm.
Piece of advice for, for like, for dating or anything?
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
Let's keep it on the dating.
Um, in terms of dating, let's see.
I mean, maybe this goes without saying, but I'd say flirt, you know, I think it's okay
to, to in a G rated kind of PG rated way, you know, be flirtatious with a guy.
And, um, we probably all gone on dates with people who are so standoffish and, um, and,
and, and like, um, you know, like if I, if I hug a girl on a date, it's okay just to,
you know, and hug and you don't, you don't have to like put your, like jammed me with
their shoulders.
Like, Whoa, Whoa.
Gosh.
Okay.
Um, and so I think it's, you know, okay.
Just to be, um, uh, you know, friendly flirtation, you know, kind of a Christian, you know, G
rated way.
So I think it's healthy.
That gives it.
If you like the guy that gives the guy the, the, the hint that, Oh wow, I think she kind
of likes me.
I'm so glad you said that you guys, and I know some people feel differently about hugs
and not, I mean, and I, I have, I will say this, like I haven't been known if I feel
safe with you, I might hug you if I don't feel safe with you.
I might give you the side hug, but you guys don't assume a guy's a creeper just because
he goes for a hug.
Some of it's just culture.
Some of it's geographic.
And so I'm so glad you said that just for us to normalize that not every hug is mean
something bad.
Right.
It can be a good thing and it can be a kind thing.
Is there anything I didn't ask you that you feel like showcases you that you want to share
with the ladies?
You know, I, I have a couple of, um, nice hobbies.
I play guitar, um, acoustic guitar.
And so, you know, like to do like praise and worship music.
Do you not have your guitar in the back seat for you to whip out something for us?
Just air guitar.
I mean, that would have put you up the, I mean, you know, that would've taken you up
the slot there.
Oh, you're right.
Darn it.
I knew I should have planned ahead.
It's all good.
It just means on the first video day, a girl's going to be like, so are you going to serenade
me?
Right.
Exactly.
I'll serenade you and I'll show you my, teach you my queso recipe.
I mean, if Brian wasn't sitting right here, I would want to see that just to, just to
get that, that recipe.
All right.
Okay.
Um, awesome.
Thank you so much.
Okay.
I'm about to switch over to some of the girls, but, um, Phil or Tim, make sure you, um, go
to the chats and start to see all the fabulous things, ladies, um, Cheryl's going to put
in there again, the email for you to, um, reach out to folks, um, and don't forget to
go after Tim.
He sounds like, gosh, Tim, you sound y'all, all three of you, I feel like we knocked it
out of the park.
Ladies.
Did we not?
We have had such amazing men tonight.
And did you guys notice we had a man in his thirties, forties and fifties.
So no one can say that we're not trying to make it all happen for y'all.
Okay.
So it is eight Oh seven.
We're going to take 12, 15 minutes and I'm going to highlight, um, but this time with
the ladies, it's kind of a little bit more of a, all the same time.
And so if you have not do me a favor, if you have not been spotlighted, um, in the last
six months, so like it's been six, six months or sometime this year, if you have already
been spotlighted, I don't want you to get spotlighted against it's kind of not fair.
So if you've not yet been spotlighted, you are on camera and I can see you raise your

And what was the other questions, Renee? Can you relocate? You know what? The answer was no
in the prior, but it has become very, very likely and I think so, yes. I love it. Okay,
tell me one thing about yourself that you're most proud of.
I am, my best and greatest accomplishment is my 14-year-old son. Oh, I love that. Who is vivacious,
spirit-filled, kind and hilarious. Cheesy, much like myself, Tim, mac and cheese, mac and cheese.
I love that. I love it. Oh my gosh, that is mac. I mean, I saw your answer, mac and cheese,

age, where do you live, can you relocate, what do you do? I'm Lori Stewart and I have
been in healthcare insurance for 18 years. I am in the third fastest growing county in the state
of Texas, which is the Woodlands, Texas, and I can relocate because my licensing is for all the state
of Texas. And my most prized possession would be that I train detection canines for drugs, guns,
bombs, and PTSD care canines for veterans. Oh, I love that. That's so cool. That's so cool.
Oh, okay. All right. Somebody's trying to message me. All right, Jeannie, go up. You got that.
Hopefully you remembered everything I just asked. Ah, Jeannie. Yes, my name's Jeannie,
and I live in Washington state. I am 64 years old today, and gosh, I can relocate 100%
because I work remotely as well. I have my own bookkeeping business, and I also am the finance
and HR manager for a wonderful nonprofit that rescues children. We work in eight different
countries, about 4,000 children we support, so I can do that job remotely. Great. And what's one
thing about yourself you're most proud of? Oh, golly. I think I love the relationships I have
with my adult children. They are all professionals. They are all doing very well, and they know I
am there for them, and we're friends. I love it.
Of that. I love it. Okay, you guys, I'm gonna go really fast with these the fun one. So you just have to give us a like a one word answer. Okay, cat, dogs, pets, no pets. Denise dogs, but I love all animals, but dogs. Hey, Rhonda.
Dogs.

Yeah, dogs.
Okay, so did Rhonda. Did you say dogs to

I'm like you flying. I want to fly Rhonda.
I think I would still be what I already have, which is signs, wonders and miracles. But I'd like to see that.
I love it. Lori.
Um, it would be to take guns out of criminals hands.
Amen, sister. That's a good one. Jeannie.
And I think, um, yeah, just the ability to, to actually speak in the name of Jesus and you will be healed. Wouldn't that be awesome?
Amen.
Okay, vacation, beach, mountain, snow or tourist city? Denise?
Beach, beach, hands down.
Rhonda?
Beach and ocean cold or hot?

Okay, Jeannie.
I think the cities too. Yeah.
Awesome. All right. Last fun question. If you're going to potluck, what you bring in? Denise?
Oatmeal carmelitas.
Ooh, Rhonda?
Something spicy because out here in Canada, the potlucks are usually pretty boring.
Okay. You seem like a spicy kind of gal. I like that. Lori?
Oh, gosh. Lately, it's just been fruit.
Okay, Jeannie.
Um, red potato salad with pine nuts and cilantro and red onion. Yeah.
Okay, girlfriend. All right. What do your friends say they love most about you? Denise?
I'm very optimistic, and I'm an encourager.
Awesome. Rhonda?
They love about me, my love for people, and they call me a pocket Rhonda, because I'm a little bit of a smarty pants. So often they wish that they had the remarks that I could come back with. So they're like, can I wish I had a
pocket Rhonda?
Yes. You're kind of spicy. I get it. Lori?
Um, I'm great with children and teenagers. And I finish what I start.
I love it. Jeannie?
Um, oh, golly. I, I hate paying fees. So I negotiate bank fees like nobody's business. And I just yeah, like, I negotiate. Yep. Get a good deal.
I love it. Okay. What do you wish more people? What is something you wish more people knew about you? Denise?
Come back to me. I don't know.
Rhonda?
Um, I present as really strong as a strong woman and super confident. And because I'm prophetically unctioned, I'm kind of sharp. But I'm actually super soft.
And I love that. Lori?
Everyone thinks I'm in control because I am six feet tall.
No, is that what you wish more people knew about you?
I thought you said something. I don't know. I heard the question correctly. Something I wish people knew about me. Um, I'm a fashionista because I used to be a fashion model. I don't know.
All right, there you go. Jeannie.
I kind of present quiet and reserved, but I am so much fun.
Oh, I know you are. I can attest to that. You're a fun gal. I love it. Okay. Let's see. Um, what's something you want it? What's a bucket list item you want to do with your future spirit mate? Denise?
Everything that it's not about where you go. It's about who you're with. So I want to do everything with them.
I love it. Rhonda?
I love Denise's answer because it's not actually anything big. It's like simple things like watching a movie on a couch or going to a market together or having coffee with someone on a Sunday, Saturday morning. Like it's a simple things.
Plus traveling.
Awesome.
Lori?
I want to cozy up in a cold environment and sled dog rides.
I love it.
Jeannie?
Israel, Israel, Israel, and Italy, Italy, Italy.
My two favorite places.
Those literally are my two favorite places.
OK.
What character of God are you resonating with these days?
Denise?
Definitely provider.
I'm learning how to trust him for everything.
Rhonda?
I would say it's probably not.
I would say covering.
He's my covering at every present.
He's just been such good company lately.
Oh, I love that.
Lori?
Niecy, because he's my banner.
I'm trusting him through the changes of health care.
I love that.
Jeannie?
With Rhonda, just his presence and comfort,
just nonstop, nonstop talking to him and him to me.
And it's just been really comforting.
Awesome.
Great.
All right, last question, ladies.
Tell us what you're looking for.
Rhonda, you're up.
I mean, Denise, you're up.
My spirit mate.
Honestly, somebody just to play this game called life with.
But he's got to love God more than he loves me.
I love that answer from one of the gentlemen tonight.
Yeah, that was good.
Rhonda, how about you?
Yeah, I agree.
I'm looking for a running mate.
Like, I got tired of waiting, so I'm running.
I'm running right now.
And I just, my heart's desire is to be
able to just look over to the next lane
and just see my running mate.
So knowing that we're in the same race,
we're like-minded in terms of calling and hopes
for the future and an ability to dream together and partner
well.
Awesome.
I love it.
And have fun.
Yes.
Always.
I have laughed more in the last year with Brian
than I've laughed in the last five years.
So laugh often.
Lori?
I'm looking for, again, I have to bring up the height thing
because that's something I ask God for.
Almost a non-negotiable for me.
And so six foot.
Girl, you're six feet.
I get it.
I'm going to bow to you on that one.
We're going to give that one to you.
Power couple.
You know, it's funny.
My friend, Allison Allen, I don't
know if any of you guys watch Back Porch Theology
with Lisa Harper.
And so the sidekick on that show is Allison Allen.
And she's one of my dearest friends.
She's actually going to be singing at my wedding
with her husband.
And she jokes that she's five foot 12.
And Jonathan is easily over six feet tall.
So I get it, girl.
I get it.
OK.
What is, and then I'm sorry, I'm going to give you
one more bonus question.
Is there anything that you want the world
to know, this group to know about you
that I did not ask you?
Denise.
I'm just looking to probably find ways to serve more.
Awesome.
Great.
Rhonda.
That's a deep question, girl.
Never judge a book by its cover, I think.
It's just a lot of the substance and weight
that a lot of the women carry here in this place
is forged in the hard times and is forged in the fires.
So being able to walk in victory has a lot behind it.
So good.
Lori.
Just that I've been a part of a behavioral health suicide
prevention task force for six years.
It was created and we helped establish the 988 number.
So I am very involved with that.
I just want to continue to help people save lives.
And helping teenagers is really important.
That's about it.
Love it.
Jeannie.
I think that I'm really entrepreneurial
and I love kingdom minded businesses.
My business is based on helping those kingdom
minded business owners have the stability in their bookkeeping
and things like that.
So I'm very mission minded as well.
And yeah, I'm just looking for someone
that can help support me as I support them because I'm
very supportive as well.
I love it.
Thank you so much.
OK.
You guys are fabulous.
I'm so proud of you.
You did good.
Ladies, if I missed you, I'll get you next time.
I promise we always do this.
OK.
So we had three wonderful men tonight.
You know how to reach out to them.
It's the.
Spotlight email, I was wrong at first.
And you guys, stop asking about men's heights.
Do you remember Jackie said about that?
Like, okay, six foot girl,
she was allowed to ask about men's heights.
The rest of you stop asking how tall these men are.
Stop it.
I'm kidding.
But like, seriously.
I mean, I know I'm 4'11".
It's really easy for me to say that.
However, I would hate to see you miss out on your guy
because of an inch.
Just saying.
All right.
Let's see.
Dave, are you still on?
David, are you still on?
Yeah, I'm here.
Would you close us out in prayer?
I'd love to.
So Father God, we just thank you for this opportunity, Lord.
And we thank you that we are spotlighted by you, Lord.
And Father, we just pray in our life,
wherever we are, Lord,
would you bring us closer to you, Father?
And Lord, we just pray that you would prepare our hearts
and make us ready for our spirit mates, Father.
And Lord, we just thank you for Renee.
I pray a special blessing over her and her family.
And Lord, I just thank you for her leadership tonight.
And we just pray all this in your name.
Amen.
Awesome.
Hey, you guys have a great night, everybody.
