A fresh version, but from a biblical worldview. They'll understand that as you relate it to free speech. You chatted a little bit about that just recently.

But the most redundant, the most thorough expression of concern that God had is that they weren't free to worship him as he had prescribed.

That's great. The students are going to be in a cohort format. So they'll be on this campus in this retreat center-like context, and they'll wake up in the morning.

It'll be mostly classroom context in the morning, where there'll be an expert that comes in for the given week to focus on content, not just delivery, but content exchange, helping the students work through how to apply what they're hearing, what they're learning. So that'll be generally a morning context of learning. And then they'll move to the afternoon where

where it'll focus more on experience. And we'll get out, and there'll be physical challenges where we do hikes together. Nothing too extreme, but just helping students understand that this is a whole life perspective of the gospel impacting someone's life. So they'll go on hikes.

In December. And that'll cap off the end of the year. But that's generally what a day looks like. And then the evening, there'll be some time. They will do some work.

At Southwestern Theological Seminary, Baptist Seminary, the facility has a swimming pool.

No.
