Yeah, everybody prefers youth to Church. Well, that's it, right. There's, there's a there's a youth in all of us. But no, we you know, we both love music and creative production, all aspects of all that and really love getting to songwriting and work with some incredible, you know, musicians and creative production, people, all that sort of thing. So, you know, it's great, great opportunity. And we also have two kids who, we have a two year old who is shaping up to be the best drummer in Church already. Yep, loves banging away with his sticks. And we also have a one month old, which feels feels crazy to be able to say that already like it's flown by. So it's amazing.

It was great to have you here, Nathan, we're going to talk about this idea of worship and creativity within the local Church. And one of the things we've written down here is actually that it can have a real impact in the Church because it takes up a lot of space. And a service doesn't really you know, it's a major part in a service, the worship the creative side. And for some churches, it's either a real springboard for growth, and can be a spring, a springboard for fall out as well. So we'll get into that in just a little while. But But I want us to think around this idea that does language really matter? I mean, we're using the phrase creative team. is the language important?
