Chapter 1: What prompted Jase to cut his own hair?
I would guess Mia. If Mia was in town, she might have cut it.
Yeah. Nope.

I was going to say Jill because the last time you got a – well, you did a viral video that went – it went viral where you shaved your beard and cut your hair, and Jill did it, my wife. But she's not in town, so I know she didn't do it. Yeah. But there was that story.
So, boy, this is a riveting cliffhanger. Actually – and the reason I told you I'm not sure, Matty, is I actually did it myself. And it was not easy. That's why I said, do you really ever know someone? But I did want Maddie to guess. When she said, do I know this person? I was like, well, absolutely. I'm standing here talking to you. I did it myself. And I thought I did such a good job.
And I basically just got in front of a mirror. And it wasn't easy, but I did it. So I sent a picture to my wife. saying, what do you think? And she didn't respond for a couple of hours because she's in Nashville. And I think it took her a while to notice that I had cut my hair because same problem you all have. So this was her response, Maddie. So this is Marriage Counsel 101. She put, nice.

Chapter 3: How do emojis change the way we communicate?
No, I think this is speaking in tongues. I need an interpreter.
But no, here's the thing. There's truth in it, though, Jay. There's just happened last night. So Beth has been trying to get me to go on the duck call room. And but I just been busy and had a lot going on. And so she sends me a note and says, hey, are you in town to go on the duck all room? And I said, no, I'm in Gulf Shores.
And she said, and then she sent me one back and said, well, I don't want to be a pest, LOL. And then I sent her a picture back of a ear with a mosquito right next to the ear. And then I sent her an emoji of with me winking like it's a joke. But it's sort of like there's some honesty because you are being a pass, but it's OK. I mean, I understand that's what you do. You have to get gas.
So that's that's what Missy did as well. It's she's she's telling you she's kidding because she loves you. But, you know, anything is better than what you have.
Oh, all right, well, finally we solved that mystery.
See?
You brought up Mia because the other day she asked me something. Somebody left her some money, and she's like, how much was it? And I sent her a picture of the, it was a $100 bill. But she sent three of those emojis all different, and I had no idea what that meant. I said, I don't know what this means. I bet Manny would know. Well, then she defined them. She put shocked, surprised, and let's see.
It means I'm surprised and shocked. But then she sent another one after that sentence. And I thought, this is just too complicated. It's getting too weird. Why didn't you just say that? Because now we have to have an interpretation. That's right. It's faces I've never seen. I don't even know what.
That is interesting, James. You brought up an interesting point. I never thought about the emojis now. And people at Maddie's age understand them immediately. It takes me a little while to figure them out. But it has become its own language.

Chapter 4: What does it mean to bear the image of Christ online?
to be under this umbrella of in Christ. And here's what that's going to look like of all these people from all these different countries and different nations. This is what it's going to be like. And in Ephesians 1.10, it says, and this all, the whole plan was to culminate with, I'll read it. I'll start reading in verse nine. He made known to us the mystery of his will.
You know, what does God want for humanity? He made known to us the mystery. of his will according to his pleasure, which he purposed, there's a phrase, in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment. I mean, drum roll. Everything through time was leading to this one declaration to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head. Even Christ.
Yeah.
So I'm like, man, what a statement. So I think we have two narratives. You have the one of Ephesians where all things in heaven and on earth are brought together now. Yeah. And this is, he wrote that to the Ephesians, what, almost 2,000 years ago? Correct. So we're still living that. But it doesn't feel that way in our minds. religious establishments.
It's kind of like, well, we're just waiting on this to happen. And so I did an illustration last weekend. I spoke out at camp. Did I tell you all about that? No. They had like a sportsman's day at Camp Chioka, where we've all been. I mean, I think I first went to camp as just a little kid, which is why I did that.
And Willie and Corey met at camp, like on the Moonlight Hike.
My parents met out at camp, and my mom took you to that camp.
She did when I was nine years old.
I didn't meet my wife there. I met her at the church that sponsors camp, but I saw her out there, and that was part of the process. I was like, what? because they always used to ask, who are you going to take on a moonlight hike? And I was thinking, I'd like to take that girl, but she probably wouldn't go, which was eventually going to be my wife. So I didn't even ask.

Chapter 5: How does God's plan for the nations unfold in Scripture?
But when Paul got up and shared to a group of people who were bowing down to an altar, this one inscription on this altar in Acts 17, 23 got his attention because he looked carefully at the objects of worship from the people here in Athens. in which I've been to this place modern day, it's still there. And he says they had an inscription that said, to an unknown God.
He said, I'm going to proclaim this unknown God. And so he starts this sermon. He said, the God who made the world and everything in it. Now, watch what he first says right off the bat. Is the Lord of heaven and earth. He says the same thing he wrote in Ephesians that was saying this is the culmination of God's will and plan.
He said he's Lord of heaven and earth, and he doesn't live in buildings built by hands. And then you remember the rest of it. He's not served by human hands. He gives all men life, breath, everything else. Well, his sermon, which goes on to say, he did this so that men would reach out for him and seek him and find him and where his offspring, but he's not far from us.
And then he goes on to end it by saying, he set a day when he'll judge the world. And he has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead. Well, out of that, I came up with three questions out of that sermon. So I asked them the three questions without reading that first. I just said, let's get to know each other. I said, so here's what we're going to do.
I'm going to ask you all a question, and I want everybody at the same time to answer it. I was like, it'll sound weird, but it'll be fun. And we'll see if a common theme comes out. So the first question I asked, I said, where are y'all from? And when I said that, 200 people simultaneously told me the state where they were born. And really, there was no one state.
You would have thought it was Louisiana, but actually I didn't hear anybody say Louisiana. I heard some Arkansas. It was like I was organizing some speaking in tongues here when the spirit poured out. Some Texas, Oklahoma. I actually heard a Hawaii. There was a couple that I met later that were from Hawaii that came all the way to this.
That was a frequent flyer award.
So then I asked the second question. I said, what do y'all do for a living? I kind of gave a redneck question. Well, then I heard everything from barbecue to plumber to outdoor guide. I mean, it was just all these things that people do to make money. Of course, if you think about the question, I said, what do you do for a living? These were carefully orchestrated questions.
Well, then the third question I ask is, I said, where are y'all headed? And to my surprise, I only heard one thing from 200 people. You know what it was? Heaven. They all said heaven. Now, for my illustration purposes, I actually thought that I was 0 for 3. Because then I read Acts 17. Now, remember what I'm saying here. I'm prefacing and saying, well, they got the third one right.
