Step In, Build Up, Serve On | Ruslan KD | Echoes Church

06/04/1944. Does anyone know what that date is? D Day. We had one person. Last service, like, four people said it. D Day. D Day. World War two had been raging for years. Hitler's Nazi Germany had swallowed up most of Europe from France, Poland, and beyond, tanks rolling cities burning millions

living in fear under his foot. The allied forces were fighting back, but it was it was grim. It wasn't looking good. They'd been driven from France, chased across the channel, and Hitler had built a wall of guns and concrete along the coast drearing them to try again.

See, things were desperate. Families are starving, nations crumbling. If the allies didn't break through, freedom itself could be snuffed out for a generation or worse. Into this step ordinary soldiers, farmers from Kansas, mechanics from Detroit. If you look at these photos, these kids are barely old enough to shave.

The waves slammed against their steel landing craft, gunfire split the air, smoke stung their eyes as they clutched their rifles, boots soaked, hearts pounding, the world's future hanging on a knife's edge. And here's what we didn't see.

No generals charging at the front like in ancient battles. You see, in the days of kings, rulers would lead from the front, sword raised, charging into the fight. But by the twentieth century, war had evolved.

The generals weren't dodging bullets on the sand. They were behind the lines equipping these men with training, strategy, plans, and weapons so that the mission could could succeed. Victory didn't hinge on one hero at the front. It depended on thousands

of ordinary people stepping in, each doing their part and moving forward together. Warfare had evolved. Not every battle was won by a king swinging a sword, but by equipping ordinary men to face the chaos because the mission is bigger than any one hero. And that's why today's talk matters so much. Today,

we're gonna be talking about step in, build up, and serve on. God's vision for his people. God's vision for you. God's vision for his church. But before we jump into Acts chapter six, I wanna just briefly introduce myself again. My name is Ruslan,

and I am originally from a country that was actually impacted by all this. After World War II, there was another war that happened, but it was very different. It's called the Cold War, and it was the West versus

the communistic Soviet Union. And I actually grew up in The Soviet Union. My grandfather fought in World War two, and I grew up in a little country called Azerbaijan Baku under communism. And to prove to you guys that I grew up under communism, I brought a picture from my childhood. That is really me.

And you could tell that I'm living in communism by how tightly I'm holding on to that piece of bread right there. Just just gripping it with my dear life. I don't know the other thing in my hand,

but let's just say the Soviets were a little crazy. Right? We we we moved around a little different. And so I grew up Armenian in Azerbaijan. Armenians

have been in that region for a long time. Here's a picture of my dad. My dad is ethnically Armenian. My mother's adopted by an Armenian. And what happened is and some of you guys may have seen the news, but Armenia and Azerbaijan have been fighting for thirty five years plus. And just this past week, it was announced that they signed a peace treaty

to finally stop the fighting. But the fighting you guys can clap for that. The fighting has been brutal, and it's actually the reason why me and my family were were ethnically cleansed from Azerbaijan because we were Armenian, culturally Christian, from that part of the region. And

hundreds of thousands of Armenians left in the late eighties. And so we come to America as refugees, religious refugees. My mother and my father didn't know the language very well, and we had no context of God, no context of church. Because again, under communism,

God was the state. Right? There there we didn't we didn't have freedom of religion. All the things that we kinda take for granted here in the West. And so when we came to America, the cultural hub where everyone gathered was the Armenian Orthodox Church, a part of the Oriental Orthodox Church. So this is me actually getting christened as an altar boy

in the Armenian Orthodox Church. That's my Terchayr. That's me as a little kid. And I didn't know anything about God. I didn't talk about God. I didn't talk about the Bible. Nothing. Like, nothing. And then I'm like christened as a as a altar boy. And

I I loved it, to be honest with you guys. We got some of the leftover communion wine. You know? The the the wafers, the body of Christ was always slapping. It always was great. But something

something tragic happened. My mother and my father split up after six months of being in America, and around the same time as I'm getting plugged in and I'm starting to walk into my faith, there were some older altar boys that were teenagers, and I ended up getting sexually assaulted as a kid, which did a crazy number on my mental health, my mindset,

trauma, the way it was framed. And it was really rough. And so my dad leaving, my mom being an alcoholic because of that, and then that happening really did a number on me. And I ended up becoming a really rough kid. I get into music. I get into going to

concerts. When I was eight or nine years old, I got to see Doctor. Dre and Snoop Dogg in concert. I'm not I was I was, like, the only white kid in the audience

and definitely the only, you know, kid in the audience, and they're, like, smoking weed. And it it was it was the craziest thing. And so I get really into music. I start wanting to do music. And in fourth grade, my teacher, she was so sweet. This is a teacher of me and my a picture of me and my fourth grade teacher. She was so sweet, and she saw that I like music. She's like, hey. We got this karaoke machine back in the day. We used to have to record on karaoke machines to make rap songs because we were broke. And so she lets me start recording songs on this karaoke machine at school. And I liked it so much, I thought it'd be a good idea to break in

and steal the karaoke machine. So in fourth grade, I broke into my elementary school, stole the karaoke machine, and I became the kid that was smoking weed, getting drunk, getting high, completely out of control. And at the age of 11, this is fourth grade, at the age of 11,

I got arrested, and there's a picture of me right after I got arrested for breaking into houses. I am wearing an easy e t shirt. I thought I was straight out of Compton. I wasn't. And then something interesting happened.

So many crazy things hit the fan in my life, and it was just going so bad. My mom finally started to see the pattern. She relocated me to North County, San Diego. And you guys ever seen that show Scared Straight?

Okay. So I didn't have to go on the show. I was just scared straight from all the crazy stuff that happened. So by the time I get into eighth grade, I'm like, hey. I'm gonna be a good kid. I'm gonna lock in. I'm gonna I'm gonna really pour myself in. I thought, know what I wanna do with my life.

I had the epiphany. I know what I wanna do with my life. I wanna be a professional basketball player. I'm going to the NBA, folks. There's only one problem. I'm Armenian, and there's this thing called genetics.

My mom's boyfriend had to sit me down, explain what genetics were. And then I and then the more I thought about it, something really interesting. You guys know that an Armenian has never made it to the NBA? If you factor in the Kardashians, we've actually taken more careers from the NBA than we've added.

So I get cut for my sophomore basketball team because of genetics, and I I everyone's like, okay. Michael Jordan got cut. I'm like, he

was Michael Jordan, and it was his varsity team. Okay. I'm not Michael Jordan. I don't have the genetics. So I know I said, I know it. I I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do the next best thing. I am going to be a professional rapper.

And as I was pursuing this career, God starts getting a hold of my heart, and I start

hearing about this gospel. And up until that point, I probably would have called myself an atheist. I was probably like the youngest atheist walking in middle school saying I'm an atheist because I was thought, man, there's no way that God loves me, if he does there's no way that God exists, and if he does, he definitely does not love me because of all the crazy stuff that happened to me. And oddly enough, God start kinda getting my heart, pulling me into his word,

pulling me into his church, and I I I just go for it. And I start serving in church. I start serving in any capacity where I was needed to serve, setting up the sound, setting up the lights, setting up the the audio equipment. Every Sunday, we were a mobile church much like you guys are now. And that evolved into me doing everything I could and slowly

discovering more and more of what I'm supposed to be doing with YouTube. And and now, by the grace of God, I I did music for five years from 2015 to 2020, and then I pivoted into YouTube full time. We reached a 100,000 unique viewers a day on YouTube, about a million unique users a month on YouTube.

And here's the thing. As a kid like me arrested at age 11 without my father present, without with a mom battling alcoholism, the odds of me becoming a successful functional adult, let alone let alone a Christian who preaches at churches and has a YouTube presence were very, very slim to none. But God used

the church that I stepped into in my teenage years to completely transform

my life, transform everything about me. And I believe that he wants to do the same for every single one of us. So that's why what we're gonna talk about today matters so much. And maybe you're here and you're like, hey. That's cool, man. But, like, you know, I I didn't get arrested at age 11. I my my dad was in my life. I grew up grew up fine. But there's probably folks in here that you know you've let some areas of your life drift.

Maybe you're dealing with some addiction. Maybe there's some coping mechanisms that you're not happy. Maybe you just feel lonely, and you know that God has more for you. And I promise you that on the other side of what we're going to discuss today, I really believe he does. That if when we step into

who God has for us to be in community with, when we step into his local church, that I believe it is is how we discover what we're supposed to be doing with our purpose, our calling, our assignment,

and and and a way that God has uniquely wired you is often discovered in community with other people. Okay? And God has something for every single one of us despite how unpopular church may seem today, despite how people may frown upon it. They may think church is a bunch of hypocrites. It's a waste of time. Why would you give up your Sunday mornings? Don't you want to go

golf or do something? I don't know what they do here. In California, we have something called outside.

No. I I love Arizona. But God has something for every single one of us. So if you turn your bible to Acts chapter six, we're gonna jump into a time in the early church where everything is exploding, and we're gonna look at a passage of scripture

that I think is so pivotal today. But before we do that, let me give you the three points we're gonna talk about. Point number one will how we discover how we step in to discover

your gifts. Point number two will be how we walk with others to grow closer and stronger. And point number three will be how we serve faithfully to become who God has made us to be. Now to see how this plays out, we're gonna look at this moment in early church history where growth brought new challenges

and how leaders responded in a way that not only solved the problem, but helped the gospel spread even faster. So Acts chapter six verse one, it says, in those days when the numbers of the of the disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained

against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the church is exploding

because God is doing a work. At the same time, multiple people from multiple parts of the world come to Jerusalem. Pentecost happens, they just end up staying, and the church just explodes. Now what happens is when people come, they they don't have nowhere to sleep. They may not have means. They may not have resources. And at the time, widows in this context were the most

marginalized and the most vulnerable group of people. Because if if a widow was left on her own, who knows what could happen to her? Right? And so the widows needed to be careful, and the church has always done a good job of caring for the fatherless and caring for the widows. And so a dispute raises amongst the Hebraic Jews and the Hellenistic Jews. Now the Hellenistic Jews are the folks who are

Greek, and then they become Jewish. That's why they're there. So they're they're they're Greek, and then they become Jewish. And the Hebraic Jews are the they're what we call the the Jew Jews.

So they're, like, really Jewish. Like, they're ethnically Jewish. They didn't convert. This is their culture. And there's there's this dispute happening because the the Greek Jews' widows are being overlooked in a daily distribution of food. So verse two, says, so the 12 gathered all the disciples together and said, it would not be right for us to neglect the ministry

of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them, and we will give our attention to prayer

and to the ministry of the word. So they have a conversation. They say, hey, we can't be in the weeds of everything. We can't be waiting tables. We can't be dealing with the distribution of food. They are actually supposed to be focusing on the word and on prayer, so they assigned 12 people to deal

with this this matter. Right? It says the proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, also Philip, Procalius from Antioch, a convert to to Judaism.

They presented these men to to the apostles who prayed and laid their hands on them. The interesting thing about all of these names is these were all Greek leaders that they established to care for the Greek widows.

Meaning that they engaged with the people who were culturally connected to them, that they were relevant to and established a connection with. And then in verse seven, it says, so the word of God spread, the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

So you see in the scriptures something very interesting, that the leaders of the church aren't actually supposed to be doing everything in the church. In Ephesians chapter four verse eleven and twelve, it says, and he himself, Jesus, gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets,

some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers. Okay? Now check this out. Verse 12 says, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Do you guys know who the saints are in this context? It's every single one of us who are in Christ Jesus today.

That the scriptures say that if you are in Jesus and you've placed your faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and you've now surrendered your life, that you are no longer a sinner, you are a saint.

And so it says here that the church is established with leaders, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers.

Why? For the equipping of the saints to do the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Here's the punch line. Did you guys know that pastor Daniel and pastor JP aren't supposed to do everything at the church?

I know that's crazy. He's like the pastor. Like, he's like, he's supposed to do it all. Right? No. The pastors of this church are here to equip us, to equip every single one of you guys to do the work of the ministry. That it's not about them being the hero at the front with the sword leading the charge,

that the warfare has shifted, just like in D Day. That the warfare is now all of us stepping in and leading and contributing. And so many of us in our context today, we we live in a consumeristic

culture, do we not? We live in a culture that's all about consuming. I'm just gonna consume more Netflix, consume more media, consume more food, consume, consume, consume. But Jesus is calling us not to be consumers, but to be contributors. And that's what our first point is today,

to step in and discover and develop your gifts, that God wants you to step in to discover why you're here and walk through this process. And, you know, in in in my life, getting to the place of YouTube would have only happened because

of the local church. I'll give you guys an example. So me and Daniel were serving at a church. We started a young adults ministry. Daniel was preaching, and then I was working just a regular job hanging out with adults with developmental disabilities. It's actually a very fulfilling job. But it wasn't paying the bills. We were struggling financially. Me and my wife were in debt. And I was talking to Daniel, and Daniel was like, hey. I got an idea.

He said, video announcements are like the latest craze. You guys remember video announcements, anybody?

Yeah. Come up on the screen and someone would give you the announcements instead of just using the microphone from the stage. But anyway, were the latest craze. So then I was like, this is we're gonna do. We're gonna make some mock video announcements. I'm gonna be the announcer, and you're gonna shoot them, and then we're gonna take that and and help you land a job at the church because that's what they're looking for. And I said, there's only one problem.

I don't know how to use my camera very well.

And so I said, you know what? I'm gonna step in. I've been faithful. I've been serving. I've been known in the church. I've been committed to different things. I said, okay. I'm gonna step in, and I'm gonna do my part because I had done all these other things. And that led me into running the entire media department, and running the live streaming, and running the behind the scenes, and running the the video switching. All of the same things that then, when I transitioned to YouTube, were skills that I needed

to flourish and thrive the way I have. That the the church ultimately provided me a a safe place to learn from my mistakes, refine my skills without the high pressure stakes of a professional studio.

And so when we step in, it's good for us. When we step in, we might discover things about ourselves and giftings that we didn't know were there. Right? So that's the first step. Step in and discover your gifts. That's our first point. But God but but gifts don't grow in isolation. When you step in, those gifts don't grow in isolation. See, God didn't design a Christian life to be a solo project.

He designed it to be lived in community today. In Ephesians chapter four verse 16, it says, from him the whole body joined and held together by every supporting ligament grows and builds itself up in love as each one does the work.

We're all a part of the body, and we're all growing in love because here's the deal. You're intended to live in relationship. It is not good for man to be alone. That in relationship is when we thrive, and relationship is when we grow. And in our modern context, with deaths of despair

and loneliness at a high, yet we think we're interconnected because of social media, but many people feel like they're in this crowded loneliness where you're around people, but you're not really known by anyone. Right? This is the beautiful part about stepping into a church, about walking into relationship,

about being around people that are different than you. So let let me let me make this really practical for you guys. There are people in here that are, we would call you, more mature. You're on the mature end of the spectrum. Amen? Okay? And and and here's the deal. The church needs you. You know who needs you? Gen z needs you.

I know. I know you think they all got TikTok brain. Right? They all got ADHD. But they need you. That that young married couple who's starting their marriage and they're struggling, they need you. That couple that just had kids, they need you because you're several seasons ahead of them. Right? Young people, listen to me.

You need the older generation. They forgot more things than you've ever thought of.

So we we need each other. And that's what leads us to our second point, which is we walk with others to grow wiser and stronger. We walk with others to grow wiser and stronger. For my for my own journey, it looked real simple. I remember doing music, traveling, tired, exhausted,

thinking that I had to pursue this path because I'm gonna make this rapper thing happen. I remember sitting down with my pastor, and YouTube was starting to be a thing in, like, 2015, 2016. And I said, hey. I got this fork in the road moment. I could keep doing music,

or I can I can try this YouTube thing and see what happens? This is before anyone knew who I was or any of that sort of stuff. And my pastor asked me something really, really important. He said to me, he said, what would be best for your family?

And I was like, oh, that's a no brainer. I don't wanna keep traveling. I don't wanna keep touring. I don't wanna keep dealing with other rappers. What would be best for your family? Who in your life can ask you the hard question?

Who in your life can give you that guidance? Who in your life are you doing intergenerational life on life with? Folks that are a season ahead. Right? So we step in to discover our gifts, we walk with others to grow stronger, but it can't stop there. These gifts and relationships are meant to overflow in service.

That's where faith moves from theory to practice. And let me just say this. Faith is not just saying true or false to a bunch of truth claims. Jesus died for my sins. Check. Jesus rose. Check. Faith is not just saying yes or no to a bunch of truth claims. Faith is practiced.

It is lived out. The apostle Paul writes, work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God that is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

That faith is working out what God has worked in. That if you're in Jesus, God has deposited something in you, and now we get to all work it out.

And the beautiful part is when we work it out, it not only is it aligned for scripture, but it's also good for us. In Mark chapter 45 chapter 10 verse 45, Jesus, it says, for the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Luke 10 excuse me. Luke sixteen

ten says, whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little can also be dishonest with much. And so we see in Acts six, people are stepping in. They're serving. That that serving is a dignifying service

to help other people. It's essential. It's not secondary. We see in Ephesians four that we're all a part of the church. And here's the beautiful part. Serving is actually good for you. And let me explain. Okay? I know we live in a world where you're consistently told that you're the center of the universe,

that that you're a snowflake. Right? That that that that this is this is the latest thing. Main character syndrome. You guys ever meet someone that got main character syndrome?

Okay. That is that is the culture of the air. You're the center of the universe. It's all about you. You're you're a first player. You're living life as and here and here's the punch line, friends, that it's it's not about you, and it's not about me. God is the main character in the story.

We are here to provide a supporting role to ultimately what he wants to accomplish, and he allows us to step into this beautiful story and cooperate and work with him to usher in his kingdom on this side of eternity. You see, coming to faith in Jesus isn't just about getting hell insurance.

I guess I believe these things because Jesus is coming back next Thursday. World's going to hell in a handbasket. I'm in. No. It's about helping usher in a piece of heaven on this side of eternity.

And when Jesus prayed in the Lord's prayer, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, and I believe we're all a part of that process of bringing the kingdom here. And so that leads us to our third point,

which is serve faithfully to become who God made you to be. That there is a consecration process, a sanctifying process, a cleansing process, a chiseling process when we serve and we step in and wear inconvenienced

in the in the busyness of life and in all the other commitments you have going on. When you step in, that there is something sanctifying that happens to you that's good for you. Let me give you an example. If you're struggling with pride in here, go serve with the kids.

It's very difficult to be prideful when you're holding babies. Are you dealing with an identity crisis? Go hang out with some middle school kids. You think you got it bad. They'll show you what an identity crisis is. Right? So when we step in,

we end up walking in the fullness of what God has for us because so many of us want promotion before faithfulness. Right? But Proverbs says that humility precedes honor. That when you serve other people and you make your life not just about you,

that it actually transforms you and makes you a better person to be more useful in this on this side of eternity. Is this making sense? And so

we step into discover and develop our gifts. We we we walk with others to grow wiser and stronger. We serve faithfully to become who God has made you to be. And, ultimately, what we're really getting at is walking in the fullness

of your calling, walking in the fullness of your purpose, walking in the fullness of your assignment, walking in the fullness of what God has for you. And the best vehicle for that is the church. Where else can you be around people of different backgrounds, different socioeconomic

statuses, different skill sets, different personalities, different ethnicities than a church? And so I I could talk about this stuff with you guys for hours,

and I and I would really love to discover and calling. How do we know? Are we doing it for our selfish reasons, or are we doing it for God's kingdom? All that sort of stuff. I I I love this conversation, and this entire conversation is actually based on a chapter from a book I got coming out next month. It's called Godly Ambition, How to Reach Your Full Talent and Treasure. So it's available preorder September 9. Shameless plug. This is what the entire book explores is this idea and going deeper on this. But

I want to make sure that we walk away here with some practical practical application. But first, let's go back. Let's go back to Normandy. You see that day in Normandy didn't change the outcome of a single battle. D Day didn't do that. It actually created a ripple effect that reshaped the entire world.

But here's the thing. I don't know if you know this or most people don't talk about it today. Did you guys know that most of the world had kind of an appeasement strategy with Hitler? They were, like, ignoring him or just giving him a little ground, hoping the threat would maybe pass,

but it didn't. The threat only grew stronger. And I believe some of us here today are doing the same thing spiritually. You're appeasing the enemy in areas where he's taken ground in our lives, in our families, and in our communities. But Jesus, he's given us the church, the only institution he personally established.

And he promised in Matthew sixteen eighteen, I will build my church and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. You see, this mission is too big for any one leader, personality, or pastor, that the front lines and every single one of us has a role to play.

Now

some of you guys might be saying, well, that's great. I'm glad that that turned out that way for you and that's awesome and you got to discover what you're supposed to do with YouTube and you're calling and you're reaching okay. Cool, man. But you know what, Ruchlan? That's cool, but you don't know my story. You don't know the church hurt I've gone through. You don't know the way I've been betrayed. You don't know the way I've I've suffered.

And let me just say this, I don't know everything you've been through, but I do know what it's like to experience hurt, what it's like to experience betrayal, what it's like to experience something that is catastrophic. And here's something else that I know. If you're in this building

today at Ghost Church, I do know you're pastor. And I do know Daniel is a man that loves God, and he loves his family, and he loves you guys. And you guys are in good hands here. And so I'm gonna challenge you guys. Can I challenge you guys? Yeah. I like that. It's okay.

This is the last week here. You guys are at three services, and we're going to four services.

And I know we're in different seasons, and I know we're busy, and I know we got a whole lot going on and hustle and and work and careers and family and kids and all that sort of stuff. But next week, I go to churches going to four services. And so can I challenge you? If you're not serving right now, would you consider

texting this number, serve to 31707 and consider stepping in and serving in this church because God is doing something in this church, and God is doing something through this church, and God wants to do something in this church and through this church for every single person here. That what if what if we were a generation,

a church, a community that wasn't consumed with us, but was consumed about stepping in and allowing God to use us through his church. So here's my challenge. Before you leave today, please sign up to serve. Find your place. Take your post because the mission moves forward when we all move together.

Let me pray for us. Father God, we thank you so much for your word. We thank you that is that it is often challenging, Lord, that it is often convicting.

But we thank you that you demonstrated all of this for us, Lord, in coming to Earth and living the life we couldn't live and dying the death we should have died on the cross in our place for our sins. And you didn't just die to get us into heaven, Lord, that you died and rose on a third day to help us usher in a bit of your kingdom here on earth.

And so I pray right now that every person in here that they would have a desire to serve you in whatever capacity that looks like in this next season, Lord. As this church is growing and expanding, as there's growing pains, as there's setup, Lord God, would you just provide

the means to make all of this happen? We thank you, Lord. We love you, and we pray these things in the name of Jesus. Amen. Hey. Can we give Ruslan just a round of applause, man? Thank you guys so much for being here.

Man, I just love how God weaves stuff together. I mean, he's got a pretty crazy travel schedule. We planned for him to be here a couple months ago,

not knowing that next week was going to be us moving to four services. He had already kind of planned this was the direction he was gonna go. And I just love that God's providence in hand has been in this thing from the very beginning. And so a couple things as you guys get ready to head out today. Just remember, we'll always have our prayer team down here in the front. If you're here, you're wrestling with some stuff, you just need a touch from heaven this morning, don't leave here without having one of our amazing prayer team people just pray with you. I'm telling you, it it can it can change things. And last reminder,

last chance to remember, next week is officially four services. K? So next week's service times are 08:00, 09:20, 10:40, and 12:00. If you can do any any chance you can go to the 08:00 or the 12:00, you'll be amazing, and we'll love you more. But if

if the only two service times that work for you are the middle two, just come. We want you to be here, be in the place, watch what God is gonna continue to do because we are in what I believe is the middle of like an acts two move of the spirit of God. And I'm just I'm so excited because next weekend, we're also doing baptisms.

And so if you have not been baptized yeah. We can cheer for that. If you have not been baptized, that is your next step of faith after you say yes to Jesus. And so next week is

opportunity. Easy step to say yes and jump in because it's going to be an incredibly special day. We hope to see you guys all there next weekend. Again, if you need prayer, our team is up here in the front. But that's that's all we have. We hope you guys have an amazing weekend. We'll see you next week.
