But, like, he encouraged me in my faith by sticking up for me and saying, just because Bryce's outward appearance looks like this doesn't mean his faith isn't genuine. And that really encouraged me. So thank you, Cliff, for doing that. You're welcome, Bryce.

You're so well-spoken, Belle.

You're so well-spoken, Belle.

I'm super encouraged when you speak.

Well, the Peter thing, when it says that when Jesus tells Peter that I'm going to build this foundation of the rock on you, Jesus is using symbolic language of saying, I'm trusting you with the system of the church. So for someone that struggled with Christianity growing up because there were a lot of hypocrites, it made me go, I don't need church. I'm good. I'm perfectly fine.

But then when I started reading scripture, I realized, no, the system of the church is a beautiful thing because when Bryce goes through hard times, I need the fellowship of brothers and sisters to come around me and encourage me, challenge me, pray for me. What a beautiful thing it is to have God trust a pastor to shepherd your soul. That's a beautiful thing.

And I know it can be confusing sometimes, for example, like the Peter thing, but he's using symbolic language of saying like, Peter, I trust you. With this system, I call the church to create it. I'm going to give you wisdom to build this structure. And then he goes, that's the same guy that said, I would never deny you, Jesus. Then he denies him three times.

And then we see something very amazing here. The same guy that denied Jesus Christ in Acts receives the gift of the Holy Spirit because Jesus ascends, the promise comes through, and what happens?

The same guy that denied him through the power and strength of the Holy Spirit stands up and begins the system of the church in front of 3,000 brothers and sisters and says, you guys killed the author of life. but God raised him from the dead. And this is the way it is. And they go, yep, you're right.
