Well, how about we'll try it, and we'll get back to... What was her name? The problem is I've got weeks before I could... Hey, look, here's the deal.
All right, so here's what I'll do. You have to be now our decider, Joe. I will, because I'm... Boy, if there's ever a diet that I have to go on, which I've never been on one, if it involves cheese, I'm like our Sicilian friend that we had on the last podcast. I must eat cheese.
I'm not. I've had his. No, you haven't had.
No, I haven't. But I've eaten that. That American cheese.
Well, you're wrong. You have brought preconceived notions to the argument.
I will say this. Upon first inspection, visually, this looks like something that I would ingest in my body. Yeah, I think it's going to be good. When you got to remember where the processed cheese that he said, the only reason we ate that as kids was due to poverty. Because that is the cheapest. And availability. Yeah. I also ate mayonnaise sandwiches when I was a kid. Yeah.
No, I'm combining the origin plus the taste because my first reaction to it was a gag reflex. And I thought, this doesn't taste like cheese.
Now, where else could you go on the planet? Because I had not met Preston either, and they said, we have a guest. So I looked into you and watched some of your videos online, which are quite popular. They're very good. And if I don't surmise this, well, you can correct me. But you basically just have street conversations with people.
And the more I watched, the more I was like, well, Preston reminds me of me. Which is what I thought when I was reading that book.
The reason I was excited that you were coming on after I watched a couple videos is that, because I really wasn't raised in the church either. I mean, I guess I was a young kid when my parents came to the Lord, and I witnessed that transformation in real life from literally the bar lifestyle, because that's what my dad did for a living, he leased a bar. And it wasn't a nice bar. It was rough.
And they didn't really have any rules about our presence in the bar. I mean, that's basically what I was seeing. And I'm actually thankful for it because I was looking around thinking, these are some of the most depressing, angry people that I've ever seen. I mean, it was, it actually, uh, you know, it affects people different way, which Al was older than, than I was when my dad came to the Lord.
But so I, like you, uh, You know, kind of was just looking on my own at the Bible without this kind of predisposed theology, I guess. And what struck me in what you do and what I do, which is similar, is, you know, we're in the book of John now. We're studying. But when you look at what Jesus did, I mean, the first red letters in John is a question to his potential followers.
He said, what do you want? And, of course, they didn't really answer his question. They were like, where are you staying? And he said, come and you'll see. And the whole book, after John gives this kind of deep theology about how Jesus came to earth in the body of a human, it then has all these conversations about
with people that kind of validates God came to earth and he had conversations with people. I mean, you know, you had Nicodemus and, you know, he was a religious leader and he tells them the exact opposite thing that you would ever think somebody would tell a religious leader, which is you need to be born again.
And then, you know, in John 4, he talks with the Samaritan woman, which had broken so many rules, just having the conversation at the well. And her past was, to your point, very transparent. And then Jesus, you know, kind of identifies with, yeah, he knows your past, and he knows your present, that you're currently living with a guy that's not your husband. Right.
And then she became kind of the first missionary in that town. And I remember reading that at 14 years old, and I thought the same thing. I thought, man, this is so real and transparent and the opposite of what I'm now hearing at the church building that I'm going to. Wow.
So maybe that's why we developed this, which I think it's doing Jesus stuff, having conversations with people. wherever you are, because I think that's how God works. That's amazing.
We would die for a lie knowing it was a lie, especially when all you have to do is say, hey, I'm out.
Hmm.
That's what people need to understand. That is the answer of all these social issues, right? That we have. Jesus pulls us together. I mean, when I look at your backdrop, I'm like, okay, Preston likes tennis shoes. But if you look at my closet, I have boots that are like your shoes because I'm in the woods. And I bet I have 30 different kinds.
