after youth ministry, what was the next step? I know like where where did you go from

00:00:06

there and where are we today? During that time frame of youth ministry and my last four years of youth ministry were

00:00:12

like my most successful years by far. Uh which is why it was such an abrupt and harsh ending. And like the the big piece

00:00:19

that ended up being the final straw was once I expressed what was the word um uncertainty around the interpretation of

00:00:27

the scriptures around the LGBTQIA. a community. That's when they were like, "Yeah, you're out." So, that was that

00:00:34

was it. So, my f I shifted during that time. I was getting my license to be a therapist. I was going to school. Um I

00:00:41

kind of seen the writing on the wall a little bit that I wasn't going to be in

00:00:44

here forever. Okay. And thank God truly like that I did because I would have had

00:00:50

very little to fall back on. So, I immediately hopped into that after that whole thing done was done. And that's

00:00:55

been about three years now.
