This was just. Let's. Let's visit and catch up.[00:00:10] Remy: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Pastor Mark, thank you so much for willing to. Being willing to come back on to the show, huh?[00:00:21] Mark: Absolutely. Thanks for the opportunity.[00:00:24] Remy: Yeah, you're. Your episodes were some of my favorite last season.Some of my favorite that, that I, that I've ever.[00:00:40] Mark: Thank you.[00:00:40] Remy: Yeah, I actually, I started watching a.An ex Mormon and so many Mormons deconstruct into atheism, which is sad because they're just as lost.
