SPEAKER_2 (0:26)

How are you doing this morning?

SPEAKER_1 (0:28)

Good.

SPEAKER_6 (0:28)

Good?

SPEAKER_2 (0:29)

Amen.

SPEAKER_5 (0:31)

You like to travel?

SPEAKER_1 (0:32)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_6 (0:33)

Yeah?

SPEAKER_8 (0:33)

Yeah. Where do you like to travel to? Disney.

SPEAKER_4 (0:37)

I knew you were. How did I know?

SPEAKER_9 (0:39)

Deep in my bones, I knew you was going to say Disney.

SPEAKER_10 (0:42)

Why do you like Disney?

Nate (0:45)

Because there was a lot of fun rides.

SPEAKER_2 (0:49)

Fun rides?

SPEAKER_10 (0:50)

Is there a mouse there?

Nate (0:52)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (0:52)

Okay. We won't tell you what we do with mice here.

But listen, buddy, I need your help this morning. You're a really smart young man. I've got a map here.

SPEAKER_10 (1:03)

Do y'all know it's hard to find a paper map anymore?

SPEAKER_2 (1:06)

I went to two gas stations and AutoZone and Dollar General this morning.

SPEAKER_13 (1:14)

No one makes paper maps anymore.

SPEAKER_14 (1:17)

You can't find them because we all depend on this thing.

SPEAKER_4 (1:22)

And it's getting that nobody...

SPEAKER_13 (1:25)

This is quickly becoming like a paper map.

SPEAKER_9 (1:30)

Nobody wants to use one of these anymore.

SPEAKER_10 (1:33)

Let's just depend on this, AI and Facebook, and they'll tell me what the Word of God says.

SPEAKER_3 (1:39)

No, don't get there.

SPEAKER_10 (1:41)

Let's not go the way of paper maps.

SPEAKER_15 (1:43)

Amen with our Bibles.

SPEAKER_13 (1:46)

But so what I had to do was print a map of Arkansas off here.

SPEAKER_10 (1:50)

And Nate, what I want you to do is tell me how to get from Little Rock to Memphis. How do I do that? Look at that map.

Nate (1:59)

You like do this, then like drive around until you get like to here.

SPEAKER_10 (2:05)

That is excellent.

SPEAKER_9 (2:07)

That's exactly.

SPEAKER_13 (2:10)

Just start here and then drive around.

SPEAKER_16 (2:14)

And kind of go which direction?

Nate (2:16)

Like this way, then there's like a hill to get there.

SPEAKER_10 (2:20)

There's a hill to get there?

SPEAKER_6 (2:22)

OK, yeah, there probably is a hill.

SPEAKER_10 (2:25)

OK, and that's how I get to Memphis.

SPEAKER_2 (2:27)

How long do you think it would take me to get there?

Nate (2:35)

Three minutes.

SPEAKER_2 (2:36)

Three minutes, OK, that's pretty fast.

SPEAKER_10 (2:39)

All right. Thank you, buddy.

SPEAKER_4 (2:40)

You've been awesome.

SPEAKER_10 (2:43)

Thank you.

SPEAKER_16 (2:44)

Somebody give him a special treat this morning.

SPEAKER_2 (2:48)

That was a perfect demonstration, because we're talking about, this morning, knowing, showing, and sharing the way. And how will they know the way unless someone preaches the gospel to them?

SPEAKER_13 (3:16)

And how can someone preach the gospel to them if they don't know the way themselves? And just like Nate said, we have bought into an idea in the church in this day that you can get from here to heaven in about three minutes.

Yeah, you just go this way and drive around and yeah.

SPEAKER_9 (3:46)

That's kind of the directions that the church has been given in this hour.

SPEAKER_13 (3:54)

Direction, misdirection, redirection.

SPEAKER_15 (4:01)

Because we're dependent on everything but the road map.

SPEAKER_2 (4:10)

Nobody wants to read the map anymore.

SPEAKER_13 (4:12)

You know, me, Angie, Julia, and Cindy like to watch a series called Relative Race.

SPEAKER_11 (4:20)

And it's quite interesting.

SPEAKER_15 (4:23)

They pair up people, and it's usually somebody and a relative or a friend, and it's somebody that's been adopted.

SPEAKER_13 (4:29)

And they're racing across the country.

SPEAKER_17 (4:32)

At the end, they can win $50,000, not $50 million, $50,000.

SPEAKER_13 (4:38)

But they're racing, and each day, they race to another city or another state somewhere to meet a relative that Relative Race has found through their DNA and connected them, and they're connecting them with relatives.

SPEAKER_15 (4:52)

Some of them discover and find their biological parents and all kinds of things, but they learn a lot about their history, and it's a really neat show.

SPEAKER_13 (5:02)

But what's interesting is they take their cell phones away from them.

SPEAKER_18 (5:08)

See? See?

Jonathan (5:11)

Take your cell, oh, Jesus, don't take my cell phone. Thank you, Jonathan.

SPEAKER_20 (5:14)

That was just right on time.

SPEAKER_5 (5:17)

Oh, Jesus, what am I going to do without my cell phone?
