00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:02.620
Hey guys, Pastor Burton here. Time for a quick

00:00:02.620 --> 00:00:06.360
coffee break. And really, this time, I'm going

00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.839
to go over a couple of really big updates. I'm

00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:10.900
going to explain what's been going on. I know

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:14.199
here on the podcast end, we went a couple weeks

00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:16.679
without anything really being posted. Well, what's

00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:21.120
going on? Well, as you know, really, I kind of

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.440
switched away from a podcast format to recording

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:32.210
our services live and sharing it here. Now, with

00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:36.530
that said, the problem was our soundboard went

00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:41.210
down. It just completely went poof, bye. Initially,

00:00:41.329 --> 00:00:44.549
we were having trouble in -house. So people could

00:00:44.549 --> 00:00:46.450
hear me because, of course, we're in -house.

00:00:46.509 --> 00:00:49.710
I could raise my voice, not a problem. But then

00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:52.789
as we found out, we started having troubles online.

00:00:52.969 --> 00:00:58.820
We were having troubles recording. cascading

00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:01.159
and it went out so fast we didn't even have a

00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:06.920
chance to really get ahead of the curve and fortunately

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.700
you know we've been blessed with a brand new

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:13.340
soundboard you know now you know some of you

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:16.000
are like oh didn't we hear this in the past yes

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.420
last year we had an issue with the soundboard

00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:24.859
you know the The decision was made, not by myself,

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.659
but by the board and some other people to go

00:01:28.659 --> 00:01:32.719
out and they bought a refurbished soundboard.

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:37.459
And unfortunately, it didn't last very long.

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.459
This time, however, different story. We were

00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:44.909
blessed a 100 %... brand new in the packaging,

00:01:44.989 --> 00:01:46.950
the wrapping, the whole bit, extended warranty,

00:01:47.189 --> 00:01:50.890
the full Monty on top of that. We did a few other

00:01:50.890 --> 00:01:53.250
upgrades in -house, which have really helped

00:01:53.250 --> 00:01:56.430
out the praise and worship and just the overall

00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:59.170
sound of things as well. Of course, as many of

00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:01.209
you know who are local, we do a movie night at

00:02:01.209 --> 00:02:03.870
the end of the night, or not the end of the night,

00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:08.990
the end of the month, and all that stuff. You

00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:10.530
know, we've tested it out. It's been working

00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:16.770
wonderfully. However, it's my own fault. You

00:02:16.770 --> 00:02:20.729
know, working through these issues, I kind of

00:02:20.729 --> 00:02:24.530
got sidetracked and lost a little bit of my focus

00:02:24.530 --> 00:02:26.870
because I was focused on some other things. And

00:02:26.870 --> 00:02:31.409
I apologize because I let the podcast kind of

00:02:31.409 --> 00:02:35.650
slip. But I'm making it up to you all. Of course,

00:02:35.669 --> 00:02:38.780
I'm going back. I'm pulling up. I keep all my

00:02:38.780 --> 00:02:43.000
notes. I do. I keep all my notes going back the

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.719
whole bit. That way, if I do need to refer to

00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.699
something or whatever, or like in this case,

00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:50.639
record something, I can. So as many of you have

00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.639
noticed here as of late, the last couple months

00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.099
or so, it's been flip -flopping. It's like, oh,

00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:55.860
we're live. Oh, wait, we're doing a podcast.

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.759
What is it? Well, right now, I'm going through...

00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:01.639
I got all my notes. Of course, it's a little

00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:02.939
different than a live sermon, which is always

00:03:02.939 --> 00:03:04.340
a good thing because one service to the next

00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:05.699
story is a little different too. You never know

00:03:05.699 --> 00:03:07.120
where those rabbit trails are going to take you.

00:03:07.659 --> 00:03:09.919
However, I'm going through and I'm recording

00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.069
each and every message from scratch. for you

00:03:14.069 --> 00:03:17.889
so that you don't miss anything as well. Because,

00:03:18.030 --> 00:03:20.590
you know, I realize that I have an obligation

00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:22.669
to y 'all. Y 'all have been loyal. Y 'all have

00:03:22.669 --> 00:03:24.870
been following me for the last few years. You

00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:27.610
know, not only, you know, as I started up the

00:03:27.610 --> 00:03:30.430
podcast, following through with my ministry and

00:03:30.430 --> 00:03:34.009
everything. And of course, you know, with Be

00:03:34.009 --> 00:03:37.949
The Light and now being lead pastor at Cross

00:03:37.949 --> 00:03:40.110
Christian Fellowship Route 66, which of course

00:03:40.110 --> 00:03:46.030
has absorbed you know, the light as well. You

00:03:46.030 --> 00:03:47.849
know, it's all together. And I know a lot of

00:03:47.849 --> 00:03:49.930
you stuck with it. You expect a certain thing.

00:03:50.250 --> 00:03:52.330
And I, you know, I don't want to let you down.

00:03:52.770 --> 00:03:54.650
You know, I want to make sure that you're being

00:03:54.650 --> 00:03:57.509
fed. So I'm re -recording everything. It's all

00:03:57.509 --> 00:03:58.909
going to be out there. You're going to see, you

00:03:58.909 --> 00:04:00.629
know, kind of a little dump here as I record

00:04:00.629 --> 00:04:03.729
things. And as you're going to see, once everything's

00:04:03.729 --> 00:04:06.310
kind of caught up here, you're going to start

00:04:06.310 --> 00:04:09.629
hearing things recorded, you know, through. the

00:04:09.629 --> 00:04:12.669
new PA system as I'm delivering the message live

00:04:12.669 --> 00:04:17.290
there during our services there at the church.

00:04:18.009 --> 00:04:21.490
In addition to that, I have promised that the

00:04:21.490 --> 00:04:24.350
coffee break is coming back, and it is. I actually

00:04:24.350 --> 00:04:30.470
have a coffee break episode recorded on video.

00:04:31.029 --> 00:04:34.170
I need to compress it and pull the audio and

00:04:34.170 --> 00:04:36.350
all from it. Matter of fact, on the YouTube page,

00:04:36.509 --> 00:04:40.449
I'm probably, Just going to go ahead and post

00:04:40.449 --> 00:04:43.029
the video for you all. Of course, for those of

00:04:43.029 --> 00:04:47.050
you who follow on Rumble, you will find the video

00:04:47.050 --> 00:04:50.170
there. I might even, now that I'm thinking about

00:04:50.170 --> 00:04:52.810
it, clip it and throw it up on TikTok for those

00:04:52.810 --> 00:04:56.430
of you who follow me there. So lots of good things

00:04:56.430 --> 00:04:58.769
happening. I apologize. I know it's been a little

00:04:58.769 --> 00:05:00.730
time consuming, but that's what's been going

00:05:00.730 --> 00:05:04.329
on there. So everything's getting spun up. You're

00:05:04.329 --> 00:05:07.509
not going to miss out on anything. I thank you.

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:09.759
For your continued support, of course, if you

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.899
have questions, if you have prayer requests,

00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.459
if there's something you'd like to hear me talk

00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:18.879
about or elaborate more on or break down, you

00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.480
know, whatever, don't forget, I love to get those

00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.629
emails. Those emails and all those messages,

00:05:26.790 --> 00:05:29.430
they all come directly to me. I see each and

00:05:29.430 --> 00:05:33.949
every single one. So go to our website at www

00:05:33.949 --> 00:05:41.389
.thecross66 .org. That's thecross66 .org. And

00:05:41.389 --> 00:05:43.149
you'll see a section there towards the bottom

00:05:43.149 --> 00:05:46.069
where you can send an email. I will get that

00:05:46.069 --> 00:05:49.889
email. Of course, as a matter of fact, I'll even

00:05:49.889 --> 00:05:54.689
just throw it out there right now. www .thecross66

00:05:54.689 --> 00:06:00.110
.org That comes directly to me. If there's something

00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:03.689
private, you let me know. If you don't want your

00:06:03.689 --> 00:06:06.290
name included in anything, if I'm praying with

00:06:06.290 --> 00:06:07.949
somebody or anything for you, I'll keep that

00:06:07.949 --> 00:06:09.790
private. Not a problem if it's personal. Of course,

00:06:09.810 --> 00:06:13.149
I keep it private anyway. However, if there's

00:06:13.149 --> 00:06:15.180
something that you'd like to ask... you don't

00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:16.459
mind me putting your name out there, it'd be

00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:19.740
like, hey, I got this message from so -and -so

00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:22.920
or this letter from so -and -so. I'm more than

00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:24.939
happy to give the credit out there for you as

00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:28.500
well. So if you're okay with that, let me know

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:31.899
as well. That way, I know I can use your name.

00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:33.720
Otherwise, like I said, I'll just kind of default.

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:36.600
I'll keep it private and everything. If it's

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:38.360
something that you want me to pray over, you

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.040
don't want me to share anything, don't worry,

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.819
I will. Basically, when you message me, Unless

00:06:44.819 --> 00:06:48.240
you specifically say that you want me to share

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.180
it with other people, I will keep it private.

00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.699
I will not identify you in any way, shape, or

00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:57.339
form. Okay? So with that said, again, thank you.

00:06:57.379 --> 00:06:59.639
I love you all. Remember, you're all loved. You

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.360
are blessed. So go and be the church. Catch you

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:03.699
next time.
