Pastor Mark Driscoll here, welcoming you to the podcast. I've been teaching the Bible for more than 30 years,

and real faith is an extraordinary ministry with a great team. It's not a big team, but they're making a big difference at a big impact. And we'd love you to preferably consider partnering with us, especially with a one-time or ongoing recurring gift.

All the proceeds will help us get Bible teaching out, and our hope, prayer, and goal is next

year to get to total reach, impressions included, of a billion plus people hearing about Jesus

Christ through Bible teaching. Your prayers, your partnership

would help us to do more and more and more. And so in advance, thank you for your partnership.

Welcome back to real men, gentlemen. Welcome back.

Welcome back. Man, I love you. I miss you. It's good to get the boys back together, amen.

All right. This is real men where we build men up to bless women and children.

That's the mission we're on and that's the guys we are. Amen.

And I'm really honored to teach. And I'll start by saying, I was thinking about it, well, we were worship in it.

For those who are joining us online, thank you.

For those of you who are here with us, thank you.

If you don't know me, I've been faithfully married for 33 years this year and been

preaching the Bible.

This is my 30th year as a senior pastor in the pulpit.

I've got five kids.

I've got three boys, and now I've got

four grandkids, three of those are sons, grandsons, I should say. And I love you like I love my

sons. And I love you like I love my grandsons. And I'm proud of you like I'm proud of my sons.

And I'm proud of you like I'm proud of my grandsons. And you guys mean the world to me, and I'm here every week, because I can't think of anything

more important than connecting men to God and connecting men to each other and seeing what God does
