Hey guys, Pastor Burton here. Time for a quick
coffee break. And really, this time, I'm going
to go over a couple of really big updates. I'm
going to explain what's been going on. I know
here on the podcast end, we went a couple weeks
without anything really being posted. Well, what's
going on? Well, as you know, really, I kind of
switched away from a podcast format to recording
our services live and sharing it here. Now, with
that said, the problem was our soundboard went
down. It just completely went poof, bye. Initially,
we were having trouble in -house. So people could
hear me because, of course, we're in -house.
I could raise my voice, not a problem. But then
as we found out, we started having troubles online.
We were having troubles recording. cascading
and it went out so fast we didn't even have a
chance to really get ahead of the curve and fortunately
you know we've been blessed with a brand new
soundboard you know now you know some of you
are like oh didn't we hear this in the past yes
last year we had an issue with the soundboard
you know the The decision was made, not by myself,
but by the board and some other people to go
out and they bought a refurbished soundboard.
And unfortunately, it didn't last very long.
This time, however, different story. We were
blessed a 100 %... brand new in the packaging,
the wrapping, the whole bit, extended warranty,
the full Monty on top of that. We did a few other
upgrades in -house, which have really helped
out the praise and worship and just the overall
sound of things as well. Of course, as many of
you know who are local, we do a movie night at
the end of the night, or not the end of the night,
the end of the month, and all that stuff. You
know, we've tested it out. It's been working
wonderfully. However, it's my own fault. You
know, working through these issues, I kind of
got sidetracked and lost a little bit of my focus
because I was focused on some other things. And
I apologize because I let the podcast kind of
slip. But I'm making it up to you all. Of course,
I'm going back. I'm pulling up. I keep all my
notes. I do. I keep all my notes going back the
whole bit. That way, if I do need to refer to
something or whatever, or like in this case,
record something, I can. So as many of you have
noticed here as of late, the last couple months
or so, it's been flip -flopping. It's like, oh,
we're live. Oh, wait, we're doing a podcast.
What is it? Well, right now, I'm going through...
I got all my notes. Of course, it's a little
different than a live sermon, which is always
a good thing because one service to the next
story is a little different too. You never know
where those rabbit trails are going to take you.
However, I'm going through and I'm recording
each and every message from scratch. for you
so that you don't miss anything as well. Because,
you know, I realize that I have an obligation
to y 'all. Y 'all have been loyal. Y 'all have
been following me for the last few years. You
know, not only, you know, as I started up the
podcast, following through with my ministry and
everything. And of course, you know, with Be
The Light and now being lead pastor at Cross
Christian Fellowship Route 66, which of course
has absorbed you know, the light as well. You
know, it's all together. And I know a lot of
you stuck with it. You expect a certain thing.
And I, you know, I don't want to let you down.
You know, I want to make sure that you're being
fed. So I'm re -recording everything. It's all
going to be out there. You're going to see, you
know, kind of a little dump here as I record
things. And as you're going to see, once everything's
kind of caught up here, you're going to start
hearing things recorded, you know, through. the
new PA system as I'm delivering the message live
there during our services there at the church.
In addition to that, I have promised that the
coffee break is coming back, and it is. I actually
have a coffee break episode recorded on video.
I need to compress it and pull the audio and
all from it. Matter of fact, on the YouTube page,
I'm probably, Just going to go ahead and post
the video for you all. Of course, for those of
you who follow on Rumble, you will find the video
there. I might even, now that I'm thinking about
it, clip it and throw it up on TikTok for those
of you who follow me there. So lots of good things
happening. I apologize. I know it's been a little
time consuming, but that's what's been going
on there. So everything's getting spun up. You're
not going to miss out on anything. I thank you.
For your continued support, of course, if you
have questions, if you have prayer requests,
if there's something you'd like to hear me talk
about or elaborate more on or break down, you
know, whatever, don't forget, I love to get those
emails. Those emails and all those messages,
they all come directly to me. I see each and
every single one. So go to our website at www
.thecross66 .org. That's thecross66 .org. And
you'll see a section there towards the bottom
where you can send an email. I will get that
email. Of course, as a matter of fact, I'll even
just throw it out there right now. www .thecross66
.org That comes directly to me. If there's something
private, you let me know. If you don't want your
name included in anything, if I'm praying with
somebody or anything for you, I'll keep that
private. Not a problem if it's personal. Of course,
I keep it private anyway. However, if there's
something that you'd like to ask... you don't
mind me putting your name out there, it'd be
like, hey, I got this message from so -and -so
or this letter from so -and -so. I'm more than
happy to give the credit out there for you as
well. So if you're okay with that, let me know
as well. That way, I know I can use your name.
Otherwise, like I said, I'll just kind of default.
I'll keep it private and everything. If it's
something that you want me to pray over, you
don't want me to share anything, don't worry,
I will. Basically, when you message me, Unless
you specifically say that you want me to share
it with other people, I will keep it private.
I will not identify you in any way, shape, or
form. Okay? So with that said, again, thank you.
I love you all. Remember, you're all loved. You
are blessed. So go and be the church. Catch you
next time.
