I mean, sometimes we're together for quite long periods of time and we're still sharing these stories back and forth. I often say the most fun conversation is you put any two faith shares together and it's not one-upping each other, but that reminds you I was in a store like that once and you just have all these stories and then the joy that comes. I mean think of how much fun it is. It's fun. Do you have any fear right now? I mean a lot of bad things going on. Do you have any fear? 01:21 - Speaker 1No, no. My only fear is that I don't share with someone that I should. 01:30 - Speaker 3That's a fear, but that's a godly fear, right, because I want to be we should always have that. Yes, we should always have it. We're sensitive to that. 01:38 - Speaker 1Yeah, but I was getting my oil changed and I go to the same place to get my oil changed. I'm, you know, avid believer in getting your oil changed right, because your car will last longer. Yeah, so he goes this place and you had to keep waxed you. 01:53You gotta keep it waxed yes, but I go to the same place and there's there's a guy there behind the counter that I see every time. He's the manager, and I was actually the first customer at this particular store and when they opened I was their first customer. So you know, you get to know people by name. Yeah, sure, I love people. So I asked him, you know, do you go to church anywhere? You know, and he said no, my mom does, and he starts, you know getting this like oh gosh, the normal body posture yeah. 02:28But by this time we've already had a little friendship. You've established. 02:32 - Speaker 2Yes, you definitely do that first. 02:34 - Speaker 1Yeah, he knows me and he doesn't even have to ask my name when I come in. So I begin to pray for him. Week after week, I've prayed for him and his family, and sometimes he'll share needs. Well, over the course of a year, two years, I did invite him to church.
