Hey guys, what's up? I'm Pastor Jeff Durbin with Apologia Church. This is Pastor Luke Pearson, and we are here to talk to you about something very, very exciting.

00:06

We've done it before, and we're finally getting a chance to do it again. It's one of our very favorite things, and this year it is called

00:11

MeatFest 2019. MeatFest 2019. Some of you guys are like, that's kind of a weird thing.

00:19

What is it all about? Well, we've done it before. Is it two times before? Yes, this will be the third time.

00:24

This will be the third time, the third successful MeatFest, and it's 2019. That's what we're doing right now.

00:30

So here it's such a it's such an amazing title.

00:35

It is. It's just that it's such an amazing title. It is. It is. It is. Well, because we know, we know, we know exactly, oh it's too late.

00:48

All right, so here we go. We're talking about MeatFest 2019, and here is what it is. We are going to this year, we are going to gift to two very special people that are selected at random.

01:02

So we're going to bless two very special people with an amazing gift, and here's the gift. We're going to fly you out from anywhere in the continental

01:10

United States of America or in Canada. We're going to fly you out to Arizona. We're going to put you up in a nice hotel.

01:17

We're going to bring you to Apologia Studios, give you a tour of the studios. We're going to put you on Apologia Radio with us, and then the best part of all, you tell me.

01:28

MeatFest. So we're going to take you to a restaurant called Fogo de Chão, which is not spelled like it sounds.

01:36

No. But it's a Brazilian steakhouse. It's in Scottsdale. It is in Scottsdale. So you know it's good. So you know it's good.

01:42

Yeah. That's where all the money is. That's right. In the whole state. That's right. And they literally bring you meat on a sword, and they cut it off on a sword.

01:54

Okay. Welcome back, everybody. Okay. So. So yeah, that thing. So there's a disc, and it's green on one side and red on the other, and if you want meat, you leave it on green, and if you don't want any more meat, you flip it over on red.

02:05

And we have to tell you right now, just ahead of time, in case you are the one that comes out and receives the gift, you really need to pay attention to the red and green thing, because if you don't, you will sin.

02:16

And they will keep bringing you meat. Yeah. You have to make sure that you point it out, and you're very, very, look at what I put, red.

02:22

Okay. Because they'll come back, and they are very aggressive with the swords and the meat. They're very aggressive. Yes. And it's the best meat in the world.

02:28

And what ends up happening, you'll end up with a, like, a mound of meat. Yes. And then you, like, feel guilty if you don't eat it all.

02:36

But then afterwards, you have what I call the meat sweats, and you leave in a meat coma. Yeah.

02:41

So you're just kind of, hmm. That's Luke every time. And there's, like, sausage coming out of your pores.

02:46

Yeah. But it's good. You can actually, like, it tastes like sausage. And for those of you guys that are vegetarians out there, just know that if you happen to receive this gift, and we bring you out to Arizona and do all the special stuff, they also have an amazing salad bar.

03:00

That's true. There's a giant wheel of cheese. A big wheel of cheese. You just hack off chunks of it. You karate chop pieces of Parmesan.

03:07

It's an amazing experience. Remember the little cheesy dough ball things? Yes. What are those called?

03:12

Cheesy dough ball things. Okay, where are we at? So where can we go? Here. Oh, we're gonna put a link.

03:20

If you're gonna donate. Yeah. Oh, I was like, what are you talking about? Where are we going? Here. This is not where to go.

03:26

So we're gonna put a link right here. We didn't even say why. Well, $25. Why is there $25? We forgot that part.

03:32

Let's try again. Where are they gonna go? Here. What are you doing? Oh, you're putting a link there. Yes, a link.

03:38

Okay, a link. So you're gonna go to this link here. And here is what it's all about. When we did this in the past before, every one of our partners and friends who participated with us, you actually participated in something that not only was a blessing to you guys, but it's actually what made all this possible.

03:54

The truth is, without Meat Fest, Apologia Studios wouldn't exist. That is the truth. It really is.

04:01

Meat Fest is what made Apologia Radio happen. That's an amazing story, isn't it?

04:06

So in the history of Apologia Church, in the canons of Christian history, they're gonna be like, and then there was Meat Fest.

04:12

And that's what did it all. So $25. For every $25 donation, that counts as one.

04:19

We're gonna select at random two very special people to bless with these gifts to say thank you. And what it is, is we are raising money right now for our mission to the island of Kauai.

04:30

Apologia Kauai is a church plant. We planted a church there. It is an island that has about 70 ,000 permanent residents, very closely connected community.

04:38

It is an island that is covered in the cults, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons. There is a ton of new age stuff there, a lot of spiritism, a lot of witchcraft, things like that.

04:49

That island is filled with it. It is wide open for a clear communication of the gospel. That's where our hearts are at.

04:56

And you can participate with us to bring the gospel to Kauai in a very meaningful way.

05:02

And so this is you partnering with Apologia Church as we have planted this church on the island. You get to participate with us as we bring the gospel to the island.

05:10

And this is the way that we are doing this in a special way. We are doing Meat Fest 2019. You are participating in a church plant and we want to bless two very special people with an amazing gift.

05:20

So again, when you give towards the mission in Kauai for every $25, that counts as one.

05:27

It's going into a big pile and we're going to pick at random two very special guests to come out and give a very special gift to as a thank you.

05:33

And that's how we're doing it. No limit. There is no limit at all. That's right. There's no limit at all. And when you give, of course, you're giving towards the mission of the church.

05:41

And as for the gift that we're giving away to two very special people, we're going to fly you out.

05:47

We're going to put you in a nice hotel. We're going to bring you to Apologia Studios, give you a tour. You're going to meet the entire staff of Apologia and you're going to be on Apologia Radio.

05:58

You'll be on an episode of Apologia Radio. And then, of course, the cherry on top of everything is the

06:04

Meat Fest part, and that is Fogarty Chow. You're going to come out to a special dinner with us, Scottsdale, Arizona, meat and swords and red and green and salad bars and karate chopping parmesan cheese.

06:17

That's what it's going to be. Sounds like a glorious, glorious event. That's right. And if you're lucky,

06:23

Pastor Luke will let you feed him their most delicious cut. No such thing as luck.

06:32

That's true. Okay. Well, in God's providence. If you're providentially blessed.

06:38

In God's providence, you can feed this big man. Lord willing. A few moments later.
