a wild ride it's been a lot of fun man a wild ride it's been a lot of fun man that's awesome well okay so I wanna I that's awesome well okay so I wanna I that's awesome well okay so I wanna I wanna just summarize this for some that wanna just summarize this for some that wanna just summarize this for some that are listening like the reason why a are listening like the reason why a are listening like the reason why a pastor should care about playing your

pastor should care about playing your pastor should care about playing your visit is if they're interested in visit is if they're interested in visit is if they're interested in getting more visitors on a weekend I getting more visitors on a weekend I getting more visitors on a weekend I mean that's one one major reason another mean that's one one major reason another mean that's one one major reason another one is to help people get plugged in one is to help people get plugged in one is to help people get plugged in quicker and again going back to that quicker and again going back to that quicker and again going back to that idea of just starting the assimilation idea of just starting the assimilation idea of just starting the assimilation process even before they come on a process even before they come on a process even before they come on a Sunday uh you know where you've made Sunday uh you know where you've made Sunday uh you know where you've made that connection and that's really the that connection and that's really the that connection and that's really the glue that's going to keep them connected glue that's going to keep them connected glue that's going to keep them connected is that they know people it's no longer is that they know people it's no longer is that they know people it's no longer awkward it's no longer and and taking awkward it's no longer and and taking awkward it's no longer and and taking that out of their experience when they that out of their experience when they that out of their experience when they first get there I think has a mass it first get there I think has a mass it first get there I think has a mass it has to have a massive impact on their has to have a massive impact on their has to have a massive impact on their perception and their overall experience perception and their overall experience perception and their overall experience of the church if you go to the church of the church if you go to the church of the church if you go to the church for the first time and you're having to for the first time and you're having to for the first time and you're having to Wade through that experience of of Wade through that experience of of Wade through that experience of of getting to know people and starting getting to know people and starting getting to know people and starting conversations things like that versus if conversations things like that versus if conversations things like that versus if you've already done that and then now you've already done that and then now you've already done that and then now you walk into a situation situation you walk into a situation situation you walk into a situation situation where that it's it's like you don't even where that it's it's like you don't even where that it's it's like you don't even have to deal with it I think for me have to deal with it I think for me have to deal with it I think for me being somewhat more introverted that being somewhat more introverted that being somewhat more introverted that would make the experience total like so would make the experience total like so would make the experience total like so much better much better much better um and and I think they walk away with a um and and I think they walk away with a um and and I think they walk away with a better perception of the church more better perception of the church more better perception of the church more likely to come back obviously uh it's likely to come back obviously uh it's likely to come back obviously uh it's easier for them to assimilate into the easier for them to assimilate into the easier for them to assimilate into the church so for those listening you know church so for those listening you know church so for those listening you know the reason they should care about plan the reason they should care about plan the reason they should care about plan your visit is like if they want to see your visit is like if they want to see your visit is like if they want to see more visitors on a weekend and want them more visitors on a weekend and want them more visitors on a weekend and want them to get plugged in and ultimate to get

know really helping make disciples you know really helping make disciples you know that's what we're done about just a big that's what we're done about just a big that's what we're done about just a big event you know although that's cool and event you know although that's cool and event you know although that's cool and amazing we want to see that more amazing we want to see that more amazing we
