NEXT: Team

[00:00:00] Speaker A: All right, friends. Well, we are back to our last session called team or training, and I'm here with Pastor Mike. How are you? [00:00:10] Speaker B: I'm doing good. How are you? [00:00:11] Speaker A: Good. All right, let's talk about team and what it means to be on a team. I think what we know, because we've been doing this for a long time, that teams are really important. And more than the importance of a team, the culture is extremely important. Right. And so we've got four values that inform our culture. They help us create the culture that we want. Now, you've been at Mosaic for how many years now? [00:00:41] Speaker B: A lot. A lot of years. [00:00:42] Speaker A: A lot of years. [00:00:43] Speaker B: From. [00:00:43] Speaker A: Pretty much from the beginning, almost. And you lead our entire volunteer staff, and you've had hundreds of people on that. So creating a right culture is important. And we've got four values that help us create that. Right. So our first one. What's the first one? [00:01:01] Speaker B: Our first one, probably, I don't know if there's the most important one, but this one's really important because you've said before, we don't let unkind people stick around very long. [00:01:13] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:01:15] Speaker B: So the first one is extravagant kindness. [00:01:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:19] Speaker B: That's probably your favorite, right? [00:01:20] Speaker A: It is, it is. And the reason it is because I think kindness allows people to put their guard down, you know, And I've met some really spiritual people. You've met some amazing people. I mean, you grew up in a Baptist environment, right? Right. Yeah. So you've been in church world your whole life, and, you know, there are churches you can go into, and they're amazing. [00:01:44] Speaker B: Right. [00:01:44] Speaker A: And then there's some you walk into, and they're awful. They're awful. I mean, we hate to say it, but they're awful. Right. And it's the culture. And what is the determine. Why are they awful? Is it you can forgive, like, bad music or even bad preaching, maybe? But unkind people, that's tough because that's the first thing they feel. Right? [00:02:08] Speaker B: Yeah. And you don't even have to really be unkind. You can just be unreceptive, I think, and it comes off as unkind. [00:02:16] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:02:17] Speaker B: So I think that's what you run into more often than not in a bad situation, if people that just aren't even ready for you to be there weren't looking for you. [00:02:27] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:02:28] Speaker B: We're indifferent about you being there. [00:02:29] Speaker A: Yeah. And when you're on a volunteer team, the reason why extravagant kindness is important is because, you know, volunteering means that you. You have a life, you're doing all kinds of things. But you're now giving an hour, two hours, whatever, of your time to do something for someone else. And life happens and there's things that go wrong, and we've got family issues or we've got, you know, pet issues, traffic issues, whatever, but you show up and you have to choose to get in the right mind space. And the first thing we want people to know is, hey, let's put on extravagant kindness. And what that means is it. It helps us honor the other people by being very gracious to them. Yeah. Because sometimes churches are not gracious. [00:03:23] Speaker B: Right, right. [00:03:24] Speaker A: And I don't know about you, but when I'm late, you know, I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm cranky. Grace goes out the window. Right, right, right. And. And so when we come together, we've got to choose to be the most gracious. And what that means is we've got. Have to be the kindest people that the other people get to interact with. Right? Yeah. [00:03:47] Speaker B: I mean, I tell our folks, and they kind of often wonder why, but it's like on Sunday morning, the greeters, I want you to be in place 15 minutes before service, and I want you to stay 15 minutes at. After the service begins. And they're like, well, the service began and why do we need to be here? And it's like, because I want the person who was caught up in some crazy traffic or their child had to, I don't know, go to the bathroom before they walked out the door and made them late. I want them to feel like they're just as important as the person who came, I don't know, 10 minutes early. [00:04:28] Speaker A: Right. [00:04:28] Speaker B: Or whatever. [00:04:29] Speaker A: Right. And, you know, I mean, great point there, Mike, because we have people who, you know, families that might have a child that just needs extra special attention. And we've seen our people do some extravagant things for people, you know, and to go up above and beyond to take care of a special need for a child, for a family. And it's communicates so much. And I think that the reason why it's so important is because it reminds us of the kindness of God, that God goes out of his way, that his grace for us far surpasses all the things that are wrong with us. [00:05:10] Speaker B: Right. [00:05:11] Speaker A: You know, and so that's a huge one. All right, the next one. The next one is spiritual expectancy. [00:05:20] Speaker B: Spiritual expectancy. That's a big one. [00:05:22] Speaker A: Yeah. And you love that one. [00:05:23] Speaker B: I do love that. [00:05:24] Speaker A: Okay. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Because it's a challenge. And I don't know. I think like you said, people coming to church on a Sunday morning, their minds could be a thousand different places. But we really want their mind to be in a place where they're ready for God to move in their life. And that's another reason we want to express extravagant kindness out front, to help reframe what you're doing and where you are so that you can move into a place of spiritual expectancy, not knowing what amazing things could actually happen. Not just here in the auditorium, but anywhere at Mosaic Church. Maybe it's in the foyer afterwards. It's just being open to the fact that God is moving in his Holy Spirit is. Is moving and. And may just use you to do something incredible on a Sunday morning. Or maybe he just wants to speak to you. [00:06:25] Speaker A: Right? [00:06:26] Speaker B: And you need to have a mind that is. Is not only open, but that is ready to receive something incredible that particular day. [00:06:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. It's so true. You know, people say, you know, you. You find what you're looking for, you see what you want to see sometimes. And so when you walk into a situation and if you're like, already bent on, like, you have low expectation, you just believe it's going to be terrible and all of that. And we're not trying to say that you need to, you know, manifest something or speak something into existence. Not true or always be happy glappy. But we are saying that there is a way for us to kind of set our intention as a volunteer staff to come in and go, you know what? I know this week's been rough, but I'm just going to expect God to speak to me and to use me, to work in me and to work through me. And we talked about this in the last class. We're talking about your X factor spiritual gifts. All those are not gifts that we can keep as presents underneath our tree. In a sense, those are to be unpacked, used. And we have to believe that, you know, God does want to give you something to give to someone else. [00:07:44] Speaker B: Right. [00:07:44] Speaker A: You know, and you've said this before too. I mean, we as a staff team. Volunteer staff team. Can be an answer to someone's prayer that morning. [00:07:58] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, there have been times in the past where one of our folks has just really felt impressed upon to give someone just something as simple as a hug. But. But also they have been impressed on to. To share something very prophetic with someone else, very encouraging with someone else. And, and that can make all the difference. We've seen it make all difference in the world where in People's lives. [00:08:28] Speaker A: Yeah. And then so spatial expectancy helps us again create this atmosphere. You know, so you have. We have kindness, we have spiritual expectancy. And then we've got purposeful, excellent, excellence. [00:08:45] Speaker B: Excellent, Perfect. I can't even really say that that was full excellence. [00:08:51] Speaker A: Yes, I know. You know, I mean, I'm. I'm pretty passionate about this. And I, as I was writing this, I was thinking, excellence is, is a good. It's good, but it's not a great value because excellence can come with a lot of hidden expectation. [00:09:10] Speaker B: Right. [00:09:10] Speaker A: Like you gotta. You gotta be perfect. And as a volunteer staff number one on Sunday mornings or all our events, I mean, yes, there are people who are on staff. Everybody is volunteering their time. Like, we're all doing this not because we are the perfect people for the job, but we are willing and purposeful. Excellence is saying we don't need to be the best, we just need to do the best we can. Like, it's not comparing ourselves to someone else. It's just like comparing ourselves to the best version of ourselves. Hey, I. What is the best thing I can do and bring to this moment? You know, what's the best way to set up this room? What's the best way to take care of this need? What's the best way to engage with this person? What's the best way to create an atmosphere where people feel welcome? It A purposeful. Purposeful. I can't even say it now. [00:10:08] Speaker B: Right. It's hard. [00:10:09] Speaker A: Purposeful excellence is like. It has intention. [00:10:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:13] Speaker A: So it's, it's someone saying, you know, I'll walk you to where the kids rooms are. Instead of pointing, I'll take you to somewhere. Instead of this, I'll help you park the car. I'll go get you with an umbrella in the rain. Because obviously you need help. It's doing our best. And so we're serving people with excellence, not perfection. Right. Yeah. [00:10:41] Speaker B: And I, and I think it also, it clears the roadblocks away that, that maybe hinder people from getting in that place where they can really experience God. [00:10:53] Speaker A: Right. [00:10:53] Speaker B: And it's just. Take us just removing those things. And that's why we. I think that's why we go after purposeful excellence, not perfection. Because we are. I don't think we'll ever achieve perfection. [00:11:05] Speaker A: Correct. Yeah. [00:11:06] Speaker B: But we do want it to be the perfect best that it can be to clear the roadblocks out of the way that people can experience God. And we don't want to be a distraction. [00:11:15] Speaker A: Yeah. I think, like, this really Also comes into play when we have, like, special events, special services, when. Like for Easter services, you know, when we do. We create some elaborate designs or we. We throw a block party and we use creative elements. All of that is really saying, hey, what's the best way? What's an excellent way to serve, to communicate? And what happens is, is when you start thinking that way, you begin to have a culture of innovation and creativity because you're like, can we do something better? Like, you know, we've done this in meetings. Can we, too? Can we? What's a better way? What's another way? What's a new way? You know, and it keeps us innovating and it keeps us creative. [00:12:08] Speaker B: Right? [00:12:08] Speaker A: Yeah, Love it. [00:12:10] Speaker B: Makes a great place, right? [00:12:11] Speaker A: It does. It does. Because there's the. When people just say, I'm not creative, that sometimes is an excuse because you're just thinking, I can't draw or I can't paint or I can't do whatever. But if you go, what's a creative way for me to schedule volunteers? All of a sudden innovation comes out. [00:12:32] Speaker B: Right. [00:12:33] Speaker A: You know, but that's a great cultural thing, and it creates. Creates this ethos like we talked about, and it creates a great environment to serve. All right, last one is compassionate generosity. [00:12:45] Speaker B: Oh, and I like that you like that one. [00:12:47] Speaker A: Okay, talk to me about it. [00:12:48] Speaker B: Generosity is definitely one of the areas that. That my mind is always wrapped around, and it's why we want people to serve. Like most people think about generosity as it pertains to your wallet or your pocketbook or. I don't know. [00:13:06] Speaker A: Yeah, right. But it's more than that. [00:13:08] Speaker B: Yeah, it's way more than that, but it's that, too. You know, when we talk about serving, we want people to be generous with their time. We want people. And not everybody has the same ability to give their time, just like not everybody has the same ability to give their money, but. But we want them to be generous with their time to the degree that they can. We've got one set of volunteers that. That can just help out in a small window of time, but it's what they can do right now. And I'm like, absolutely, Please be a part of the team. Even if this is the max that you can give. And. And it's. It's so amazing to have people involved in any way possible. But we do want people to be generous, not only with their time, but with their finances. We. You know, my wife and I have practiced generosity with our finances for as long as I can remember, but we Want you to be generous with your finances, too, because we can't. Only a few people giving to the call, if you will, won't move the calls forward, won't help move the church forward. It takes all of us. We're not all equipped to give the same amount. [00:14:33] Speaker A: Right. [00:14:33] Speaker B: But we're all equipped with the ability to give in some way. And that's what we ask here at Mosaic. That's part of. That's part of being a part of the team, is not only giving your time, but giving of your resources, your financial resources, and say we encourage that. [00:14:52] Speaker A: Yeah. And I love that we put compassionate generosity because it reminds us why we're being generous. We're not being generous because we're forced to. We're not being generous because we're trying to be more religious or we've been threatened to, or out of fear or guilt or shame. No, we're doing this out of love and compassion for each other. And that's why we give. It's a pure gift. That's why the scriptures say that God loves a cheerful giver. It's where your heart and your mind and your body is all connected. You know, why you're doing this act of service. And it's like you said, it's. It's connected to giving, but it's also connected to your time and talent, because generosity bleeds over to every area of your life. Like, I don't know if there are people who you're generous with one thing, but you're not generous with the other. [00:15:50] Speaker B: Right. [00:15:51] Speaker A: I think there's a. Now it's easier, obviously, to be generous with. I don't know. For some people, it's like, I'm generous with my words, but not my talking about, like, you know, I don't want to do that. But a generous spirit, a generous person is generous all the way around. [00:16:09] Speaker B: Right. [00:16:10] Speaker A: And a stingy person is stingy all the way around because at some point, you're just not going to withhold money. It's also, you can withhold love, you can withhold grace, you can withhold kindness, you can withhold all this. So compassion, generous generosity allows us to go, hey, I'm doing this because part of being a follower of Jesus is being compassionate. [00:16:38] Speaker B: Right? [00:16:38] Speaker A: Right. Yeah. [00:16:40] Speaker B: It's operating not out of the. [00:16:45] Speaker A: Like. [00:16:45] Speaker B: A scarcity, scarcity mentality, but it's operating out of knowing that as you give, God is going to give you even more. I think we. We talked about it before. You know, we don't want you to give because we want to take from you. We want you to give because we want you to be blessed. And. And we've all those. Those folks that. I mean, there's so many stories of people who have been generous. And the after effect is. It's like how that. That just came all the way full circle around. And I've been blessed in such an amazing way because I was first a blessed. So, yeah, generosity is. Is what creates and a place where everybody feels like they have something to give and everybody's giving. And that's the whole idea of this. This team segment. Yeah. Team training is to talk about how we can be generous, how we can serve, how we can give back to not just Mosaic, but back to God in a way that advances his kingdom. Everything forward. [00:18:05] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, we want to reclaim the message of the movement of Jesus. That's our mission. That's what we exist for. [00:18:14] Speaker B: Right. [00:18:15] Speaker A: And there is no reclaiming the message and movement of Jesus without people. [00:18:20] Speaker B: Right. Right. [00:18:21] Speaker A: So we. We can't. We can't do that. [00:18:23] Speaker B: And it's people doing these things, having these qualities. [00:18:27] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:18:28] Speaker B: That help us. [00:18:29] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:18:30] Speaker B: Message. [00:18:30] Speaker A: Exactly. And in this last workshop class training, you know, it's all. They all. It's all kind of connected together. I mean, our mission is obviously very clear, and our vision, not why we exist, but what we see is to be a diverse community that lives by faith, that's known by love, and that's a voice of hope, and that's what we see. Now, how we do it, obviously, is this way we do it. This is our style. This is our vibe, as you want to call it. This is our culture. This is the unwritten rules, in a sense, where we go by to say, hey, this is how we do it. You know, in our house. You know, this is how we do it. And then I go to some people's house, and they're like, take, take, please take your shoes off. You know what I'm saying? And it's. They don't have posters up that say that. [00:19:21] Speaker B: Right. [00:19:21] Speaker A: It's just kind of a thing. You're like. You feel. You're like, I'm probably going to do this. It's probably not okay to go upstairs. It's probably not okay. But the more you get to know people, the more you go, okay, I think this is okay. [00:19:34] Speaker B: Right. So. [00:19:34] Speaker A: So we want you to know that you won't see these four values plastered anywhere, but these are what we go by. We go by compassionate generosity. So if you feel something, you're feeling that, if you feel that you're like, oh, my gosh. They really put some creativity behind everything they do. It's because of purposeful excellence. If we go, man, there's a sense of God's presence in the room because of spiritual expectancy, you know? And, man, I just feel so loved and cared for. Why is that? Because of kind. Yeah, exactly. [00:20:10] Speaker B: That a lot of times. Right, right. Your people are so kind. [00:20:14] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. We just unkind people are not allowed. There's only one kind of people. [00:20:17] Speaker B: They're not just kind people. [00:20:19] Speaker A: Right. All right, so let's get to go practical. Okay? So we're like, okay, this is the culture. We've got teams, right? So we've got a feud, big team, like, teams, you know? And so what do we got? [00:20:31] Speaker B: We. We've got these teams. We've got a hospitality team. [00:20:34] Speaker A: Talk to me about that. [00:20:35] Speaker B: Talked about earlier. It's our greeters. It's the. It's kind of the first impression you. [00:20:41] Speaker A: Okay. [00:20:41] Speaker B: Have when you're walking up. It's our parking attendants in the parking lot. It's the ushers that help you find a seat. It's. It's the secret security people that are walking around. [00:20:51] Speaker A: Okay. [00:20:52] Speaker B: I don't know how secret you are. [00:20:53] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. Right? [00:20:53] Speaker B: You know those. [00:20:55] Speaker A: What about cafe is a cafe. [00:20:56] Speaker B: Cafe is. The cafe is where you get your coffee. And yes, you can always bring your coffee into the auditorium. It's okay. [00:21:04] Speaker A: Right, right. [00:21:05] Speaker B: Okay. But that's one team. Another team, obviously, is young kids. Young kids is a huge team. And what Elkids does is allows all the adults to have an awesome experience. [00:21:17] Speaker A: Right, right, right, right, right. [00:21:19] Speaker B: No, they do way more than that. Our young kids teams, man. I can just think of some of the volunteers that are amazing communicators with children. They have zero experience. Some of them are not even parents. But they are just amazing at connecting with the kids and teaching them about Jesus, reclaiming the message and movement with kids. [00:21:47] Speaker A: Right. [00:21:48] Speaker B: And I love seeing that. [00:21:51] Speaker A: It's not childcare, it's not babysitting. It's really depositing spiritual truths, allowing kids to meet Jesus, allowing them to see who God is. And there's so many positions to that. I mean, there are people who love to teach, so they teach. Then there are people who just check in. [00:22:09] Speaker B: Right? [00:22:10] Speaker A: They check in people. And we've got classrooms. Right. Toddlers in preschool and nursery. Some people like, I don't want to teach. I don't want to check in anybody. I just want to hold babies. [00:22:20] Speaker B: Right. [00:22:21] Speaker A: And that's a team there, too. Right. Space for them, space for nursery. Right. And then we also have double stuff. What is that? [00:22:27] Speaker B: Double stuff is this unique environment where it's not as much, you know, teaching the kids about Jesus, it's more about caring for them while their parents volunteer. So one of the things that we encourage people to do is attend a service and serve a service. Now, it doesn't always happen like that. Again, depending on time you have. But for some of our volunteers, maybe in production, they typically serve two services. [00:22:57] Speaker A: Okay. [00:22:57] Speaker B: So their kids go to one young kid service and then they need to go somewhere else. That's the place to play, connect with one another, have a good time, have a snack. That's a double stuff. [00:23:12] Speaker A: And then we also have a special needs team. Right. Because I mean, they are, they provide unique and individual care for special needs kids. Yeah, yeah. And that's a special team too. [00:23:23] Speaker B: They belong here. [00:23:24] Speaker A: Yeah, of course, of course. All right, then we've got. Let's just go to youth. Right. [00:23:28] Speaker B: Youth. We have on every other Sunday night currently a group of teenagers that come together and have youth group. It's called Underground here at Mosaic. But we also have on Sunday morning at the second service, currently a middle school ministry group where actually it includes fifth grade. So fifth grade and sixth, seventh and eighth grade that are together during the service as well. Awesome. Special time for them. [00:24:00] Speaker A: And those two groups, teams do require us to have a background check for them. So, you know, I mean, we're probably not going to do a background check for you if you're parking cars, but if you're caring for our kids. Yeah, we, we require that that is a non negotiable for us to make sure that it's a safe space for our kids. Yeah. All right, great. Now we also have worship. [00:24:26] Speaker B: We have worship. Yep. I mean, obviously, right. [00:24:30] Speaker A: Just enjoy the team. Yeah. [00:24:31] Speaker B: Playing the drums, playing the guitar. Yeah, whatever. I mean, you kind of need to be a little skilled for them. [00:24:37] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:24:38] Speaker B: But there's an audition that goes along with that. But hey, if that's your gifting, if you're able to play an instrument or to lead worship, we'd love for you to audition for one of those spots. [00:24:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Now, just so you guys know, because you're watching this and you, you get a little extra behind the curtain here. First time I met Mike Smith, got to know him, he invited me to a service in which he was singing Friends. He was singing. Wow. It was a long time ago and good for the world. He quit, so. But I think you play the guitar too. Don't you? A little. [00:25:16] Speaker B: No, no. My daughter plays guitar. [00:25:18] Speaker A: Your daughter plays guitar? [00:25:19] Speaker B: Wow. No guitar for me. [00:25:20] Speaker A: Oh, wow. So you don't have to worry about me. Please, please join the team so Mike doesn't have to. [00:25:25] Speaker B: Yes. [00:25:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:26] Speaker A: All right. We got facilities. [00:25:28] Speaker B: Facilities. Oh, that's a big one. So we have, like, 22,000 square feet here at the Mosaic Coop center. And there's always something stuff to do. I mean, just maintaining that. I've got a guy coming tomorrow. He's going to do some spraying for us. He's going to change some air filters for us, everything just to keep the facilities up to par. [00:25:50] Speaker A: Right. [00:25:51] Speaker B: Takes a lot. [00:25:51] Speaker A: Yeah, it does. And it's all volunteer work, right? [00:25:54] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. [00:25:55] Speaker A: That's awesome. And so that you also have like. Like the business part of that, like accounting and all that. [00:26:00] Speaker B: Yeah. On Sunday mornings, we have a team. It's a small team, but it's a team of people that enjoy counting and doing accounting, and they. They count our ties and things like that. [00:26:12] Speaker A: Yeah, Business, office stuff. Okay. Okay, now, last two teams we got is production and creative arts. I can talk about creative arts. Let's talk about production. [00:26:21] Speaker B: All right. Production. Production is light, camera, action. Wow. [00:26:26] Speaker A: I knew you were going to say that. I see you going to say it. [00:26:29] Speaker B: Well, it's all the pieces that go into making our service pretty much a place that's not distracting. Yeah, hopefully. But it's the camera guys, it's the sound technicians. It's the people that put the words. Excuse me. It's the people that put the words on the screen. It's all of those things. The light. It's make. It's creating an environment. [00:26:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:57] Speaker B: In the auditorium where people can worship. Where people can hear God. [00:27:02] Speaker A: Yeah, Right. And they also include online. So we have an online audience, and we have online hosts that do that as well. The good thing about this team is, like, I know in worship, you know, you have to already come talented and ready to play. [00:27:22] Speaker B: Right. [00:27:22] Speaker A: With production there, there's definitely opportunity to grow. And I've seen. We've seen people who come in and they just learn how to do lights, and it's so it's exciting for them to learn. How do you run, you know, a professional camera? How do you do some of the software, you know, in the back end? How do you. How do you just learn to do live production? And it's. It's an exciting, exciting team. All right. Creative arts. [00:27:55] Speaker B: Creative arts. [00:27:56] Speaker A: Creative arts. [00:27:57] Speaker B: You're the creative guy. [00:27:58] Speaker A: I know, I know, I know. So I like, I. I think you're on my team. [00:28:01] Speaker B: That's right. Because I'm not the creative side of the team. I'm on the work side of the team. [00:28:06] Speaker A: Yeah, you're the art side of the team. [00:28:09] Speaker B: We come up with the ideas. And should we call it creative works? [00:28:13] Speaker A: And you do works. [00:28:14] Speaker B: I do the works. Yeah. [00:28:16] Speaker A: No, but the creative team is. It also is. You know, it's not just some of the things we make or when people walk in, they go, okay, who made this? Or who painted. Painted this? Because every thing you see on the walls is. Is in fact painted by or created by volunteers. Yeah, we didn't buy this stuff. But also includes social media. [00:28:42] Speaker B: Right. [00:28:43] Speaker A: Website, photography. All of those are volunteer positions that we love to get people into. Because there is a lot of creatives out there that seem like maybe it's not. There's no space in church for them, but that's not necessarily true at all. So we've got volunteers who design and have designed some of our merch. Mosaic merch. And that's not professionals doing it. That's volunteers. And so, man, there is a team for everyone. And so if there's. Let me ask you if there's someone going, okay, I love it. I love all of this. How. What's next? What's next? And you know what? Also, there's something that you might have not mentioned that I think I'm interested. I'm definitely being on the team, but I didn't see the position, or they're like, I'm in. What do they need to do? [00:29:45] Speaker B: Right. So all they need to do is fill out the volunteer form online, and from there it comes directly to me, actually, and I'll follow up, or I'll have the person in the appropriate position follow up with you so you can be a part of the team. [00:30:03] Speaker A: Yeah. So it's definitely, hey, let's talk to you. Let's figure out what your best fit is, in a sense. And we do that. Awesome. Well, excellent. Well, yeah. [00:30:14] Speaker B: Don't forget now, it's the one thing that all the volunteers seem to really love. And it's Sunday morning. It's. I don't know how you describe this. Sometimes I describe it. It's our little pep rally before the service. But it's probably not the right way to look at it, but it's good. More people comment on our time, our huddle time on Sunday morning. You love it, right? [00:30:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I do. I do. So we call it Reb. Right, Reb. And when we gather together, whoever is leading or serving that Sunday morning come together. So it's not all. It's not the same people every Sunday, obviously, because schedules change. But we come together and we do three things. We remember why we do what we do. We engage full on. Right, Right. And then we believe that God is able to do immeasurably more. So we get. It's a great opportunity to remember it's all about people. And we tell stories of people serving people and how God just moved. We talked about being engaged because God uses people to impact people's lives in such profound ways. We believe that everyone needs to be connected and be engaged in other people's lives as much as they can be. And so we celebrate birthdays as well. And then we believe. We pray together and believe that God. [00:31:46] Speaker B: Is able to do immeasurably more. [00:31:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:31:50] Speaker B: It's an amazing time. It is fun every single week. [00:31:52] Speaker A: It is. We would love for you to join our team. And this, my friends, is your official end of our next curriculum. And we'd love for you to be a part of helping us reclaim the message and the movement of Jesus. [00:32:10] Speaker B: All right?
