WELCOME
Welcome, permissionaries! After three years, I can't believe we're really here. It's been an honor to journey alongside so many of you as we explore the big questions of faith and life--and now we get to do it together live!
A few notes to kick off this awesome day:
First, thank you. I'm sure you'll hear me say this many more times today but this community is only made possible because each one of you took the time to get her today. That's rad.
Second, I have one ask: can you join me in making this event as awesome as possible? Maybe you see an individual who came alone today; say hi! Maybe you have a speaker you've been dying to meet; feel free to tell them how their work has impacted you!
