And I watched for those several years, how North coast church wrapped their arms, not just around Tanner, but around his wife.

around his family around his friends how they how they showed up for them and i got to see a big church disciple and love and lead and pay and take care of and sacrifice for a dear friend of mine and so my i was critical of churches up until that point critical big churches and now my scheme has shifted where i said okay yes i'm a local church guy but like man big big churches aren't bad they're doing good and when i saw that and i saw chris brown and um

Yeah, man, I just, I saw it up close.

You know, I saw the mercy and the grace.

I feel good for even crying about it because it's a good thing.

It's a good thing to see churches do good things.

And it's the biggest church in our city.

It's a $30 million budget.

And Pastor Griswold is one of the most transparent people I've ever sat with.

And I've seen him be generous to my pastor and plant us and take care of Rhythm Church.

And I've seen him be generous to me

And that's when my mind like, it shifted like big is not bad.

Oftentimes they have more resources and to see them lock arms and be there for this family.

And I'm still, I just saw Tanner's parents.

His dad just came in my book launch event.

And they're still hurting, but the church is still with them.

They're still next to them.

And when we did a vlog on the church, because I said, I got to highlight what God's doing here.

We did a vlog and it was like investigating the biggest mega church in my area.

You know, we're being spicy with the societal.
