Passion, Music, and Ice Cream

This is the Truth Network. This is the Truth Network. Kingdom Pursuits, where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary passion. Together we explore the stories of men and women who take what they love and let God turn their passion into kingdom pursuits.

Now, live from the Truth Booth, your host, Robbie Dilmore. Oh, you're gonna love our Valentine. Special edition of Kingdom Pursuits like Christian Carcai. I never remember doing a Kingdom Pursuit show on Valentine's itself.

So, this is a rare treat. And believe me when I tell you, for us in the studio, it's going to be an extremely rare treat because we have Buddy Scoops ice cream right from the welcome area of North Carolina. If you happen to be in Ohio today, I hate that for you. No, I love you. Folks in Ohio and Virginia and all that.

But we got some local celebrities here we want to make sure that you know about Buddy Loves. Ice cream, Buddy Scoops ice cream. And then we've got Tim and Emily Arnett. And Tim and Emily have an amazing ministry. They really do.

They are music directors. But then recently, how cool is this? They have embarked on a new ministry to this country of England or to Great Britain. And they're involved in a radio ministry there in Great Britain. And so what a neat connection when I heard about that.

And I was like, man, I got to have you on Kingdom Pursuits. Because, you know, is God. gives you a passion, whatever that may be, for music, radio, ice cream. Right, he's going to use it to build the kingdom, and so what a great treat we have for us today, and so, Tim. How in the world do you go from m Music director at your church to Radio show host in England, star, that kind of thing.

It's only God, right? It's absolutely amazing. Our head is spinning. The crazy thing is we were uh Here's how it started. My daughter wanted to see the Eiffel Tower.

I wish it was more spiritual than this, but God, my nine-year-old said, Daddy, I want to see the Eiffel Tower. I'm like, let's go. And a guy at church said, You go, you say, tell God, I want to go see the Eiffel Tower. I want to take my girl to Europe. I say, I'm going to be there.

And it'd be great if we joined up there. And the amazing thing is God has uh what we thought was kind of a selfish pursuit is his call. We are just, God opened the door in an amazing way.

So we reached out to a radio station because we want to do concerts there. We're going to go in May, sometime like that. and thirty minutes later after a Zoom call. He's like, what do you think about doing a radio show? I'm like, wow, that'd be great.

He's like, how about a weekly show? And our jaws dropped. But that's where God's called us. And we are so, so excited. God's opening doors left and right.

And so we're going to hear some of their music this morning. Absolutely amazing.

So we have Tim and Emily Arnett with Journey Home Ministries, and then very fun, we have Chase himself. And some people refer to him as Chocolate Chase, or he refers to himself as Chocolate Chase.

So. Sir, Sir Chocolate, what have you got for us? Yeah. Y y you you ready to share some ice cream? Yes.

Yeah. And so, Ronnie, share us a little bit about how Buddy Scoop's ice cream came about.

Well, basically what happened was that, you know, I own a construction business and where the building was that we have our business in, I was renovating half of the building for another you know, I'd rented it out.

Well, every day, we chases always want an ice cream shop. And but every day as I work and he'd come over and say, Daddy, this is my ice cream shop. And I was like, No, it's you know, working on, you know. But, you know, he's pretty persistent.

So every day he'd come over, Daddy, is this my ice cream shop? No, Chase, I'm, you know, we're doing this for, you know, these guys we run into building to. Anyway, long story short, for about three weeks in a row, this is every day.

So I finally told my wife, you know, we had one little area left open that we could do something. And I said, you know, we'll just open them up a little s corner out here and And basically I called one of the uh major ice cream companies, you know, and kind of told him what I was wanting to do. And I said, you know, he may sell some, he may not, if he don't, he'll just eat it. You know, but what we're just gonna do something like really, really small right there.

Well, then, you know, long story short, they was like, Well, you know, we really can't say you know ice cream 'cause You know, we sell it to somebody else down, you know, within a so many mile radius of you and So um you know, and just Not saying that rubbed me wrong, but you know, I was like, well, you know, okay, if you don't want to sell me nothing, we'll figure out something different.

So we kind of like got on the internet and seen where you could buy the equipment to make all your ice cream and make it homemade and try to be different. And so we decided to do that. And when we did that, we decided to open up a great big area. And then, I mean, it has just exploded. I mean, it's it's been So homemade ice cream is the stuff, right?

I mean, my daughter makes it all. He works in the shop every day after school, and then the summertime he works in there every day. But my daughter, she makes everything. I mean, from the waffle cones to the waffle bowls to every flavor of ice cream, and she's probably got like 40-something different flavors now. I fuss, too.

I fush. Fudge. Yeah, hot fudge Sunday. Oh, yeah, she does the hot fudge sundae. She does hot fudge.

Yeah. And so, so basically, that's how it got started. And, you know, like I say, it went from just. What we thought was going to be a little part-time job, just something to do, to now it's like a full-time job for the whole family, and we can't, I mean, we just can't keep up.

So, I mean, we were blessed that way.

Well, it's, you know, again. God plants the idea right in Chase's heart? And then, man, he just blooms it. Like, the next thing you know, It it you know, it's just it There's ice cream everywhere. And so.

Chase, I gotta know. What's your favorite thing now that you have your ice cream shop that you've dreamed and dreamed about, what is your favorite thing that you get to do now that you you had no idea was going to happen? Crossester cash. Cash. Oh, I like it.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, for years and years and years, um We I taught Special needs at Calvary Baptist Church. And for those who know me well, knew that. And for over 20 years, actually.

And one of my favorite, you call him a student, but at this point in time, he's like 35 or something like that. He's an older guy. But when I'd ask him what he wanted for Christmas every year, I knew what was coming. His name is Logan. And if he's listening, which he often does, I'm sure you know I love you, Logan.

He'd go, What do you want for Christmas, Logan? Gift cards and cold hard cash. There's nothing like cash, right? Chase. Yeah.

That's fun. And then helping people get their change and stuff. Can you do that? Yes. Yeah, he he runs the register.

He does all that. Like, you know, as far as like, of course, most people pay with cards this day and time.

So, I mean, he uh honestly, he can run the register better than I can. I mean, I had to get him to help me. You know, of course, obviously, if people give him you know, cash and he I had to help him with a change or we will, but like He can go on that 'cause it's all computerized. He can find anything and punch it up and I'm like.

Well, now you know, man. This place, you you got to help people find it. It's in it's it's down in Walcom, but how do you get there? Yeah, well, here in Winston, you would just go right down fifty two South, get off of the South Main Street exit, turn left, we're two miles on the left. Oh, it's right down south of Ray's Body Shop and Records.

Yeah, it's from Ray's Body Shop. We're probably three miles on the same side of the road, three miles past it on the left. I see I have a destination coming my way. And so getting back to Journey Home Ministries, what church do you guys actually so because I know some people are going to want to come hear you after they hear the music's going to come at the break.

So yeah, we go to Gospel Baptist Church. and Greensboro. uh Pastor Nick Decker and we absolutely love it. We are so supportive there and It's our family. It's our home.

How long have you been there? Was it? Almost two years? Go ahead, huh? Almost two years you've been there, yep.

That is absolutely spectacular.

So, and you guys lead the worship there? No, no. We have helped here and there.

So, we were helping about a year ago, but now we're. We're um Kind of transitioning now.

So God's called us into traveling music so much.

So, and they have incredible, they have so much talent there. They have people kind of. Yeah, because when I look at your website, which again is there's a link there at Kingdom Pursuits, Journey Home Ministries, you guys are traveling all over. Yeah, and we are getting ready to booking quite a bit. God is opening doors left and right for six years we've been planning.

And as you were saying in your your last segment, God's growing. The increase is coming, and we're just holding on for dear life. But we have dear friends Sandy and Bob Martin that are our booking agent. Although Sandy is quite dignified. She is our event coordinator.

But she's keeping us straight. But we're booking dates out. And so what happens at one of these events? Oh yes. we share the gospel.

That's number one. We want people to come to know Jesus. Um so Tim sings his original songs. He's a singer-songwriter. Uh I share my story in Dear Smith.

Oh, I hate that music's coming and we've got to go to a break.

So Songs, stories, testimonies. I bet that's all going on. And ice cream, man. I mean, you've landed at the right place for Valentine's Day, I'm telling you. I am personally going to eat some ice cream during this break.

And when we come back, you're going to hear some of Tim's music, and we'll be sharing. The amazing ice cream. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Uh Father, dance with me.

Two mirrors. And if I start to fall, please catch me before I touch the ground. Before I touch the ground Before I touch the ground or father dance Welcome back to Kingdom Pursuits, where we hear how God takes your passion. and uses it to build the kingdom and oh I wish more people's passion was ice cream. But we just heard that song from you guys, and actually, that's a different sound bite than I.

I know. We got all excited. This is Dance With Me. We have quite a few tunes, but. This song is the one song that uh That Emily absolutely loved.

And this. This song was born out of my mom and dad didn't have earthly fathers that were there for them. And this song cries out and just says, you are. You are beautiful. You're loved.

And that's the main crux of our ministry. And that's what Emily shares in her testimony. And so at your events, how l how long do one of those usually go? It's the the beautiful thing about that, so we do uh Two main events we'll do like a Friday night concert.

So imagine a concert with multimedia, with Emily's testimony. Mixed in. And it's all moving, very cinematic, very uh everything is really choreographed. And then the other one is a lot of times we'll fill in for pastors for the pulpit so they can, their worship team and their pastor can take a break and we come in and we can go for an hour.

So an hour if we need to, an hour and a half if we have the time. Wow. You know, if you go to YouTube, which we connected there at kingdompursuits.com as well, Journey Home Ministries, you're going to see how orchestrated their stuff is. I mean, your videos are off the hook, beautiful and orchestrated, and go with the music. It's just so cool.

And so that's Journey Home Ministries. But I would be very much remiss if I didn't mention that during the break, oh my word. I said, I am so glad you guys passion is ice cream chase. Dude. than chocolate.

Like, yeah. You guys, and from what I understand, they call it healthy ice cream because it has less fat in it, because it's like. Italian gelato. And I don't know how they do that, but it couldn't be creamier, wouldn't you agree? It's amazing.

They have this thing called. Oatmeal Cream pie. Like, if you don't try that, you've missed out on an experience. I'm just saying. I know if you're in Ohio, I bet they'll ship it.

I'm just saying. I don't know how all that works, but I know this. Oh man, they got to be a destination.

So say plan a trip, right? Yeah, come on. Right, so it wouldn't be Kingdom Pursuits if we didn't. You know, have a little shenanigans.

So speaking of home, because you know, it's journey home ministries. Of course it does.

Well, it actually has been going on for some time. Fuck. And again.

So it is time to play Little Shenana Guns. And so. You know, all these jokes have to do with home and Uh What would be the discussion of an electrician Coming home late with his wife. You know, Valentine's Day, he comes home late from doing electrical work. What might that discussion sound like?

Nick, what do you think? Yeah. I d I don't know that about that one. Uh I don't know. Got any ideas?

It would be shocking. I don't know. That's all. What do you think, Chase? It looks like he's tickled.

Well, she would say Wire. W-I-R-E, why are you insulate? Oh no. Why are you insulate? And he would respond.

What? It to you. I'm Ohm. That's deep. That's deep.

Oh, I thought you'd like that.

So. I'm going to describe a person with a problem, and you're going to tell me what their problem is. And the word home is in there, believe me, I've used it. They can't see an end, they have no control, they don't think there's any escape, and they don't even have a home anymore. What is their problem?

I'll read it again. They can't see an end, they have no control, they don't think there's an escape, and they don't even have a home anymore. What do you think, Nick? What's the problem? Oh you you got me on this one, I don't know that I'm Chase, you may have this.

Yeah, in a way. They need a new keyboard. I'll read this again. They don't think there's any escape. They have no control.

They don't even attach a home anymore. Yeah. Okay. All right. I was thinking a keyboard like a piano keyboard.

Yeah, I know. That doesn't really attach you. They need a new computer keyboard. Let me. That's a good one.

I like that. I know. We've really put some thought into these today.

So, what do you need if every December 1st you come home to find all your windows open and everything has been taken? Every December 1st you come home All your windows are open and everything's been taken. It's a stumper, it is. You need to hide your Advent calendar. Yeah.

I like that. Very nice. I knew you would.

So, you knew at the end of those shenanigans, I actually would have a riddle. And for you to call in and win today. And so with that. Here's the question. For you to call in at 866-3-48-7884.

What would you say? is the best home chapter. In the Bible. What was the best home chapter in the Bible? There's no wrong answer, by the way.

Okay. And it is A homegrowner. you know, to fit with a Robbie persona. A homegrowner. Yeah.

What is the money, you know, forget I said that. What would you say is the best home chapter in the Bible? And if you know that, you call us at 866-348-7884-866-34 TRUTH. And if you got that Nick, tell them what they win. Absolutely, y'all should be winning a prize from our Kingdom Pursuits prize ball that includes, you can get a back scratcher, a date the word book, we've got water bottles, we just got prizes to fill out everything.

We got books. But we can't just say backscratcher, Nick. We can't. Biblical backstructure. It's a gospel backscratcher because this thing has been hand-beated by me.

Number one, it's made of bamboo. We used to use a plastic one. But the new edition of the Kingdom Pursuits. Gospel backscratcher by all means, it has. different colored beads so you can share, you know, the red, the green, the blue.

While you're scratching their back, you can share the gospel with them. Where else can you get such a device? But listening to Kingdom Pursuits and calling in and telling us what is your favorite Home chapter in the Bible, and I see the lines are lit up, so. We're going to get to that answer in a minute, but I got to get back to Chase, man, dude. Do you supervise in every one of these ice cream productions?

Yes. So do you like taste test? Yes. And What did you say when you first ate this oatmeal Pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good.

And then I could tell when you were describing your sister's functions, she makes the hot fudge.

So. Can you imagine? Really? The oatmeal? Yeah, what goes on a Sunday besides hot fudge?

Wait, so not Wet nuts? Yeah. Wet nuts. Hot fudge. High fudge.

You know what you know what? I I have to tell this story 'cause it's so fun to me. My father worked as a soda jerk back in the day. You know, he was about RK's age. And they used to have soda fountains where they made ice cream like you guys had.

And he made banana splits. This would have good. Yeah, there's a big mass split. And so, man, we would have certain treat nights. My dad would make these banana splits, and that was like.

And so I just imagine coming To Buddy Scoops Ice Cream. And enjoying a banana split with that, by the way. Coconut cream pie with hot fudge and nuts. What are they good? And bananas.

Like, man. All right. We got Colin is in Raleigh, North Carolina. Colin is not too far to drive. Yes, sir.

Anyway, Colin, what is your favorite home chapter in the Bible? And I may have slightly misunderstood your question. I was. taking it as home chapter just Where is the gospel best said in the Bible in the beginning of a chapter? And that's what I answered.

Okay, well what you got uh by the way, I've never had a wrong answer in the history of Kingdom versus So whatever whatever you interpreted my question as, you are exactly right. Um, good. They just took me to John 1. Oh, it's one of my favorites. Just the beginning was the word, the word was God, and the word was with God.

And I when I share the gospel with people, that's where I start. And you know, The thing about that chapter, my friend, and I couldn't agree with you more, the thing that makes me feel home. And I bet that Chase can appreciate this too. is it says that he was full of describing Jesus. Grace.

and truth.

Now, when you really begin to think about that, grace means. That Chase is his favorite. I'm just telling you, 'cause grace has to do with favor. Right? And so when you look into somebody's eyes, to me, wonderful Christian people, when you look in their eyes, you can tell: wow, they really like me.

I'm their favorite. Right? And so, can you imagine looking into Jesus' eyes, this Valentine's Day? and seeing that that he is full He's absolutely full. of you being his favorite, like chocolate.

That's right. And I just love it says that, you know, the light shines in the darkness and the darkness can overcome it. And that's what I talked to some of my buddies about is uh You know, as the sanctification process, that's what I want for myself: when I enter a room, people feel the presence of Jesus come. That's that's the goal. I love it.

I love it, Colin. You are a winner. You picked a great home chapter. By all means, I'm going to think about it all day. My friend, God bless you.

I appreciate you calling. Have an amazing Valentine's Day. Thank y'all, you as well. I'm going to put you on hold so they can get your information. Right now, I was wishing, I am wishing.

that our studio is refrigerated. Because our ice cream is melting and we can't let this happen.

So, when we come back, we'll be back with a whole lot more buddy scoops ice cream and right. Journey home ministry to the company. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Jesus is cooler than ice cream Jesus is cooler than cake And if I die before I wake, I know. My soul he'll take.

And that's why I'm rolling out safe I'm rolling on in Jesus' name. I'm rolling on in Jesus name I'm ruling on in Jesus name I'm Rolling out, I'm rolling out of Jesus. name I'm never gonna be the same I'm rolling on the cheese. day. That, how cool is this?

That is Jesus is cooler than ketchup. That's the name of that song. And if you were sitting in the studio with me, not only would you see Buddy Scoop's ice cream famous. Chase is chocolate right there and just kind of melting. Like sacrilege, Chase, right?

Yeah. But you would see Tim in his Jesus is cooler than ketchup shirt. Journey Home Ministries. Had I been looking at his shirt when I was trying to figure out the outro there a minute ago, I would have known it's Journey Home Ministries. But anyway, Not only does it say Jesus is cooler than ketchup, but there are two ketchup squirt bottles that are apparently making the point.

And so I gotta know: like, you're gonna write a. A worship song. And you start out with Jesus is cooler than ketchup. I know. Right?

That's where I've been. And God has had to work on me for a while. But no, this song is. I wanted people to know. That's how much God desperately loves them and gets their attention.

This song started. with my I was talking with my nieces around the kitchen table. And we were talking about all the stuff that Jesus was cooler than. Cooler than ketchup. Jesus is cooler than ice.

Jesus is cooler than grandpas, and the grandpas are really quite nice.

Next verse, Chase, we have ice cream and cake.

So talk about all these great things. But the whole point is we're rolling on you know, he he is It's a silly song, but it makes a powerful point. And so, do you like ketchup? Go ahead, honey. Do I like ketchup?

Tim adores ketchup. That's his favorite thing. I love it. A favorite thing he can have. Yeah, French fries hold.

You have a French fry, so you have an excuse to put the ketchup on there.

So here's the thing, brother, in England, this is what started, I think, got us the show in England. We're talking to the producer of the radio station. And he said, you know, the ketchup song is not going to fly here. He said, so the difference in England, ketchup is spaghetti sauce. Or tomato sauce.

Or tomato sauce. And he said, so we're going to have to do a rewrite. I don't know what we're going to do. But that whole thing.

So we're going to, yeah, it's such an investment. Do you think? Right? It's possible to have an ice cream flavor. Ooh.

For Chase. You know. Flavored ice cream. He's shaking his head. No, it doesn't.

But it's Chase, right? But if anybody can do it, Chase could. I think, I think. But, you know, Tim, he's got a hankering for ketchup. It's cool.

I don't know. But it's it. You know, just being creative. You know, just for the RNet, you know, family. Ketchup ice cream.

We'll do an experiment. We'll talk. And so you guys have how many flavors? That. How about Probably about 40 flavors right now.

Really? Yeah. So forty flavors. That's that's more than thirty How many is it? 31%.

We got 41, yeah. And we move, you know, we kind of alternate them in and out, but all the time, but there's typically about. thirty there all the time.

Now do you have sprinkles? Yes. Yeah, sprinkles are special, aren't they? They're two love sprinkles on ice cream. Because I can see that you're into the condiments, right?

Not new, you're talking about the hot fudge, you're talking about the nuts. We gotta have we gotta have sprinkles and all the, you know, just makes it a little more healthy, right? What else do you like putting on ice cream, Chase? Nerds. Nerds.

Yeah. Nerds? Nerds are hacking. Nerds and gummy bears and Nerds. Our kids love that.

Oh, we'll be, yeah. I think they have ketchup nerds. Here we go. Hey, we could do ketchup bottles. Candy ketchup bottles.

We'll work it out. We'll get together. 'Cause you know it but I nerds on ice cream. You know that My family loves that Sour kind of Really, really sour is do you have anything like that? No, just gummy bears, just sweet.

Yeah. Okay. Just checking. And so, how long have you guys been hoping? April 5th.

April 5th, April 5th will be one year coming up.

So, this is, yeah.

So, you got a big. The big Like anniversary? Yeah. Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

And basically, what he's saying is like, when we opened it up, you know, it's based under for people with disabilities, because we actually have. seven kids total, which Chase was our fifth kid. And then uh he we also adopted Two other kids, one from Armenia. Which is, he's the same age. He's six months younger than Chase.

And then we adopted a little girl from Serbia, and she's Kalina. Kalina, yes. She just turned 13. Yeah. And she has downs.

So we have three kids that have downs.

So basically, the ice cream shop is based around kids. And Davit, which is a kid from Armenia, he has downs and autism.

So basically, when you come into the shop, it's all, you'll see all the paintings and logos, like down syndrome autism logo.

So basically, when When you come in our shop, I mean, there's no judgment. I mean, you're who you are, you, you know, and it's just like a, you know, that and that's what we base it around for people that. I mean, everybody's welcome and everybody comes, but you know, you come as you are and nobody's judged no matter what. And, you know, and and Chase, he just, you know, he welcomes everybody, talks to everybody and just I I love that. And if if you've worked or been around that group for any length of time, they are the most affectionate.

They are the most loving. Right? Amazing worshipers of God. They just really, really do. But I'll never forget that when I first started teaching special needs, one of the curriculums that they wanted was.

to follow, you know, like I'm supposed to follow the same curriculum that the You know, Maine Sunday School was following. And this week's lesson was on humility. And I'm like, you got to be kidding me. You can't teach the humblest people on this planet how to be humble. I mean, you know, that's something that they have.

They're real. That's completely authentic. What they feel, what they are thinking, you're going to hear it. And they're honest.

Sometimes that can be, you know, but they're just real. They're not putting on. It's not a show. It's just, you know, like, Chase, I mean, like. He's kind of like the face of everything.

And I mean, because obviously he just really communicates with everybody that comes in that door. I mean, like last Saturday, we had a couple that drove all the way from Blacksburg, Virginia, which is two and a half hours, just to come, just to come meet him. They'd seen him on. Facebook and all because he gets on there and does all these crazy videos and stuff. And TikTok.

And TikTok. And TikTok. So when you do a crazy video, Chase, what is that? What's crazy? He just he likes to sing a lot.

Sing a lot. Yeah, he sings a lot. He loves it. All right. Well, you're going to.

Warm up here for a minute because we got one more segment with one of your favorite Chase chocolate chase songs that we we got to talk about. When you guys look at moving over to a journey home, which I can see in the photo, there you go, ministries. Where's the next concert you got coming up? We have our next one, is our church, Gospel Baptist Church, and it's in April. And we are, and then after that, we are heading over to England for a month and a half, to Europe, actually.

I was going to say, you're going to see the Eiffel Tower, I'm guessing. Yep.

So, yeah. And the cool thing about that, we are pairing. Emily really was stirred by the Lord. It's like, wherever we want to travel on vacation, we're going to do ministry. And it's so cool how God has opened this door.

I tell my kids, my teenage boy and my children, This adventure that we're on in Christ, it is an absolute adventure. We're going to enjoy it. We're going to pray hard and we're going to play hard. And that's what we do.

So we're going to Europe and we're planning on May. We'll see what God wants as far as nailing everything down. But that, yeah. Let me just tell you, having been blessed. To travel many times over into Europe and places like that.

that one of the neatest places that might really surprise me. Was Spain. Oh, wow. Magdala, that idea, the coast of Spain. They're some of the most friendly, amazing...

Things to look at and whatever. If somebody said, You got to go to Europe tomorrow, there's no doubt in my mind where I would. Choose to go. And so, you know, they, and there's a lot of ministry opportunities. I can assure you, I had them when I was there.

And we're going to be right back with some music, both from Journey Home and. from Chocolate Chase. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Come along my child and walk with me a while Along this dusty road. Fear me try to come and hold your hand.

Don't let go me And don't let go And I will sing over you a new song today And I will sing over you a new song can take away My banner over you is Is love. My banner over you is. Love, love. Oh, that song is called Banner. It is by Tim Arnett.

And again, there if you go to our website, you can see the amazing video that they did along those lines.

So professional, but I just have to tell you, Tim, that song is, man, it made me cry. Oh, thank you, sir. Yeah, it's very near and dear to me. Um A lot of the songs that I have have a story about what I've seen other people struggle with. And this didn't for the longest time.

And God revealed about a year and a half later. He said, Tim, this is for you. Because I needed to hear that, brother. I needed to hear that God loved me. that he was, like you said, in chasing after me.

And just walk and bask in that truth. And that's what we want to do with our ministries: we want to help people with their identity. and know who they are as dearly loved children of God.
