| 0:00.0 | I have a big thought, it's fresh on my mind. I gotta share it now. It's really a no-brainer. It's one of those situations where you think, why haven't we done more of this? I'm sure someone else has thought about this. |
| 0:22.6 | I'm sure lots of people have thought about this. |
| 0:24.2 | I'm sure I've even talked about it before, but it just, it came to me so clearly this morning. |
| 0:29.0 | So I need to share it in that clear form that it's in my mind. |
| 0:32.4 | So here it is. |
| 0:32.9 | I've been thinking about Wes Huff. And the Joe Rogan podcast, I talked about it on the podcast yesterday, |
| 0:38.7 | my podcast, and I don't want to repeat everything, but I was very positive about what happened. |
| 0:43.5 | I still am. I haven't changed my mind on any of that. I think it's great that Wes Huff has been |

| 1:41.3 | Get that thought out of your head that it's this, that it's your grandma's |
| 1:45.5 | church where they are so against homosexuality. That's not who we are. We actually want to accept |
| 1:50.6 | everyone and love everyone. And yeah, we do have some doctrines, but you don't pay attention to those. |
| 1:55.4 | Or if you do talk about them, yeah, we do have doctrines and they're for your own good because |
| 1:59.1 | God loves you and we would never be mean about it, right? We would never treat you the way that we treat, I don't know, someone who's |
