in Christ means we get the vertical blessings of being adopted, being sharing in the sonship of Jesus,

calling Godfather. We can't have that without also having the horizontal entailment of now we get

one another too.

Thank you. This is Family Life Today. Okay, my question today for my two scholars at the table,

Ann Wilson and Sam Albury, is did you ever, whether it's been recent or maybe growing up,

feel like when you walked into a room with a lot of people

maybe strangers or a party type deal

that you sort of had to prove yourself

did you feel like there was something in you

that wanted to make sure they were impressed by you

I'm shy

so I feel uneasy walking into a big room of strangers still. I'm just

going to cite myself up. And I don't know if it's so much a need to kind of, I've got to impress

them as it is a fear that there's no way I can. So it's that kind of, and where do you start

and, you know, all that kind of social anxiety

and awkwardness.

I had a lot of that as a younger man and it still do from time to time.

Do you?
