00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:22.000
Welcome to this week's episode of Fields Notes, where we take a deeper dive into sermon text, discuss matters of life and faith, and enjoy conversations around the table with fellow friends from the Fields.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.839
Fields Notes, listeners, hello and welcome back to Fields Notes.
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:42.640
Today we are continuing on our what we're calling our summer Fields Notes series of a staff spotlight, a staff interview, an opportunity for us to know the inner workings of the people who work for us.
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:43.759
I just made that up.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:44.240
I don't know.
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.000
I'm here today with Grace and Haley.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:47.280
Grace and Haley, say hey.
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:47.840
Hello.
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:48.880
Oh hey.
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.759
Uh, and we're gonna get to know something about Grace and Haley.
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.439
I have very similar questions to ask Grace and Haley that I asked Callie and Holly, that I believe would have gotten posted a week before this.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:04.159
So maybe if you're listening to them on repeat, there'll be similar questions, but they're just, you know, they're just the questions you ask to get to know people in some ways.
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.239
So Grace Haley, let's start with Grace.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:08.719
Okay.
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.599
Grace, some things about you that will be helpful for everyone to know.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:12.719
Where are you from?
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.879
What school or schools did you go to?
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.000
Who are you married to?
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.519
Do you have kids?
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.439
Something interesting about you that maybe people in our church wouldn't know.
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.040
Who who is Grace Mangold?
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.560
Do I say Mangled right too?
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:25.760
Kelly's like, you already say it wrong.
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:26.719
Mangold.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:27.519
Mangold.
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.680
I think I say mangled, like you got like hit in a car accident.
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:30.239
You're old man.
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:31.599
I'm gonna stop talking.
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.359
Grace, uh, tell us about yourself.
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.760
Uh well, Grace Mangold.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.760
Uh, born and raised in Crawford as well.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.840
Uh, I went to Anderson University and studied music business there.
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.799
I am married to Dylan Mangold.
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:54.560
Uh, and we have a little girl named Eliza Grace, and it seems boring, but something that maybe the church wouldn't know about me is that I love to garden.
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:56.079
Love to garden.
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:56.480
Yes.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.480
We have walked by your house and seen the gardening beds that I believe your husband made.
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:01.040
He did.
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:01.760
Very fun.
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:02.239
Yeah.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.000
What do you like to grow in your garden?
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.760
We're growing a lot of vegetables right now, but then also flowers.
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.000
So yeah, all the things.
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:10.960
It's great.
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:11.919
Thanks, Grace.
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.360
Haley, some things about you, where you're from, and all the same questions for you.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.319
Fabulous.
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.439
Well, I am Haley Filbert, and I'm from Carmel, Indiana.
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.560
So I first couple years of my life, I was born in Vincennes, Indiana, and then lived in Evansville for a couple years.
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:29.680
I did not know that.
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.080
Yes.
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:31.520
Sure did.
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.280
Um, yes, and so then moved to Carmel.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.199
Um, went to school at Indiana University.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.159
Go Hoosiers.
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:41.759
Yes, go Hoosiers.
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.120
Very big year for us.
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:44.240
Big Hoosiers year.
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:45.039
So fun.
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.759
We flew our uh national champions flag out in our yard for far too long this winter.
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.199
Um, but yes, so married to Steven, who I met at IU.
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.439
And we have two girls.
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.800
Um, Caroline is 11 and Emerson is 10, and they are so much fun.
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:16.000
And something that is interesting about me that actually some people probably do know this because I probably talk about it far too much with people at the fields.
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.599
Um, my dream job probably is to be driven to the director at the fields.
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.280
Well, no, Joe.
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.599
Uh, it is to drive a bus for dogs to get them to a doggy daycare that I would own.
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:30.319
Wow.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.319
No, I did not know that.
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:33.759
Oddly specific.
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:35.520
Wow.
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.680
I did not know Haley Filbert at all.
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:38.719
Well, this is helpful.
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:39.280
Now you know.
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:40.400
It's a good thing we're doing the podcast.
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.199
Now you know.
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:42.400
Uh, so fun.
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.240
Uh, Grace Haley, tell us a little bit about how you became a Christian.
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.639
Maybe in in short, how the Lord saved you.
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:49.840
Maybe Grace first.
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:50.400
Yeah.
00:03:50.560 --> 00:04:03.120
I uh grew up in a Christian home, but I didn't receive Christ until I was in middle school when I went to a summer camp called Twin Lakes, and um actually kind of went kicking and screaming, but my friends encouraged me to stay.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:12.240
Um, and so I did, and at the end of the week, they gave uh a gospel presentation, and that's when the Lord opened my heart to receiving him.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:41.839
And I kind of lived a life of um being on fire for Christ for a few weeks after that, and then kind of went back into the lifestyle of living like a worldly life throughout the week and then a holy life on Sundays until um the summer of my senior year, where the Lord placed a couple of really um influential people in my life who poured into me musically and spiritually, and they had this beautiful light about them, and I was like, what is that?
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:53.040
And then it sounds cheesy, but it was the light of the Lord, and I realized that uh I wanted that as well, and so I rededicated my life to Christ that summer, and now here we are.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.000
It's amazing.
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:54.720
Praise the Lord.
00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.720
Thanks for sharing and uh praise the Lord for that camp and those people in your life, and yeah, awesome.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:01.600
Thank you, Grace.
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.600
Haley, a little bit for you?
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.920
Yeah, so um, so I grew up uh going to church.
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:18.000
Um, I grew up in the Catholic faith, and my parents were super faithful and um yeah, just giving us a good foundation to try to follow the Lord.
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.879
And um, yeah, we went to church very regularly and enjoyed it very much as a family.
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:37.439
Um, but I really did not understand the gospel and who Christ was until um Stephen, my husband, uh he asked to do a Bible study with me in college after we had met.
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.240
So we went through the book of Romans together.
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:52.079
And it was through that that I understood that it wasn't about me and what I do, um, that it was about Jesus and what he had actually done for me.
00:05:52.399 --> 00:06:06.879
And um I wrote down the verse that really like captured my heart was uh Romans 10, 9, which is if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.920
And so I realized I I had not made that confession to the Lord.
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:23.120
And so um He God had been stirring in my heart belief, but I confessed um then I was actually I didn't do do that with Stephen.
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:29.439
I was embarrassed because I thought, oh, I I've actually like I thought I had been a Christian.
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:36.399
Um, but I went back to my, I was in a sorority at school and went back to my room there and yeah, prayed to the Lord.
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.879
I think that was probably the time that God saved me.
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:53.920
Um but yeah, same as kind of Grace said, like I I became a believer, um, but it took kind of a while for me to really kind of shift gears and really follow the Lord um fully.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.959
And of course it's uh up and down all the time, right?
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:05.279
But um God used Bible study fellowship as a way to really show me what his word said, like very in-depth.
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:12.639
And so I think that was um, I don't know, six, seven years ago, maybe.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:22.399
And uh that's when I think God really was able to start stirring a desire to follow him in my heart, and so yeah, just very, very thankful.
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.399
Thanks for sharing, Haley.
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.920
And just so encourage thank you guys both for sharing.
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.319
I know it's a it's a vulnerable thing to to share.
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:33.759
And then just this is I mean, our church is gonna listen to this, so uh it's an encouragement to me to hear other people's testimonies.
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.759
That's what I love when when people get baptized at our church and we hear how the Lord has saved them.
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:38.319
Me too.
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:48.240
Because it reminds everyone's testimonies are different and they're kind of the same in a sense, and uh it it is so humbling because we we confess, oh wait, no, I I'm actually not good.
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.680
I'm I I need Jesus.
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.879
And that like everyone comes to that realization when they become a Christian.
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.199
And so it's humbling, but it's so encouraging to hear.
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.000
So thank you guys for sharing.
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.319
I know it's a vulnerable thing to do in front of these microphones, too.
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.199
So that's great.
00:07:59.360 --> 00:07:59.680
Thank you.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:00.639
Thank you guys.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:08.000
Uh let's tell us a little bit about what what I think we would know generally some things that our church would be like, okay, I know Grace, she's the she's the girl with a guitar.
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:09.839
Haley does some stuff with kids.
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.079
Tell us a little bit about uh what so in some ways the general things you'd know.
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:23.920
So your title for our church, what things you do for our church, but maybe some specifically, what things do you do that people might not see that you do in your in your job that you do to serve our church?
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.279
So we've been starting with Grace.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:26.079
Let's start with Haley.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.279
I just know you just talked, Haley.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:28.079
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:28.879
Haley, what's your title?
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:29.360
What do you do?
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.120
What is the what are the things that Haley Filbert does for the Fields Church in a staff sense?
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:33.759
Okay.
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.440
Um, well, I am the kids director at the Fields, have the pleasure of doing that.
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:50.399
And um I think the biggest thing that I do probably is uh utilize our uh gospel project curriculum to lesson plan.
00:08:50.559 --> 00:09:09.759
Um, they give us a lot of options on what we can use for Sunday morning, but I will kind of go through and pick out what I feel like might be the best options for our kids as far as activities and things like that goes for the lesson in hopes that it'll make our volunteers' job a little bit easier.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:25.840
Um, so I will lesson plan for Sunday mornings and then gather all of the materials throughout the week that our volunteer teachers will need in order to um, yeah, share the gospel and teach the Bible lesson to kids on Sundays.
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.519
Um I enjoy volunteer scheduling with Steph Strickland.
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.720
I'm very thankful, I'm very thankful for all of our volunteers.
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.039
We have a plug for volunteering in kids.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.120
We are we are always looking for additional volunteers.
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.679
Um even kid, we do I we do it.
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.759
I I serve kids, I enjoy serving kids.
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.039
I hope not to make it like it's a bad thing.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:47.440
No, no, no.
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:48.399
It is.
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.480
And and honestly, it's it's one of my favorite things to do at church.
00:09:52.639 --> 00:10:09.279
It is so fun to hang out with those kids, and it's actually really fun to volunteer alongside other people, especially when you get in a situation where it's kind of chaotic back there, and you kind of are they're doing it together, and you look around and you're like, oh my gosh, what are we doing?
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.080
But it's fun.
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:10.879
It's great.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:12.080
We're in this together.
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:13.759
Yeah, it's great.
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:25.200
Um, all of our kids' milestones that our pastors provide them a milestone are different, um, I guess sort of events.
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.720
I don't know another way to say a milestone, because that's really what it is.
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.639
Something just bad question for me.
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:30.960
Sorry.
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:31.919
That's great.
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.440
Uh I should have thought about that a little bit.
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:52.480
Um, but it is, yeah, an event that sort of um provides significance to certain times in our kids' lives and where we are able to support the not just the kids, but the parents as they walk alongside their kids um at different points in their life.
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:58.720
So we have um the commission is coming up, and that is our all of our parents of our little babies.
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.120
It probably will have already happened by the time this aired.
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.919
Oh, for those of you record these a little bit ahead of time.
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.519
It has just happened.
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:18.000
Uh, and so yeah, we will commission our parents to disciple and um parent their children, and that we will yeah, gladly do it alongside them.
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:35.440
But all the stuff for those milestones, um, kind of in the background, if we provide resources to families or I don't know, um different gifts and things like that, that I will help support our pastors because they are the ones that are providing it, but I'll support them with that.
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:49.360
And then of course, VBS is something that is very exciting that I enjoy um, yeah, just planning and uh getting everybody rallied together to do, and it's such a fun and exciting time.
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.159
So that'll be that will be coming, right, Joe?
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.279
Yes, it will be coming.
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:53.840
Well, I mean, who knows?
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.639
But I think that'll be in the future.
00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:58.559
So fun.
00:11:58.960 --> 00:11:59.840
Haley, thanks for all your work.
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:03.759
I know we I uh I benefit a lot from your work when Kylie and I serve in the K through three.
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.000
All of the the lessons you have is organized so well.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.480
The games are actually fun for the little kids to play.
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.159
Um, thank you for all your work in that.
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:11.759
I know it is a lot of work in that, Haley.
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:24.000
I heard somebody uh on on a I thought there was a helpful note, someone said one time of like the most like uh, you know, it takes statistics for what they are, but like what what people are like most likely gonna come to faith in Christ on a Sunday morning.
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.320
Uh it's gonna be our kids, actually.
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:40.799
That there is such a uh a need in uh uh and uh an importance to sharing the gospel with kids, teaching them how the Bible points to Christ, um, that you organize and facilitate so well, Haley, that for that for that ministry to happen.
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.399
So thank you for your work in that, Haley.
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:42.879
That's great.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.279
Thank you.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.559
Grace, some about you.
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.720
What what is it that you do, Grace, other than well, no, you just talk.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:57.759
Um, so I am the worship director, and so part of what I do is I help manage our music and tech team.
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:19.039
So scheduling in both of those areas to serve monthly, and um I alongside the rest of our stuff help shape and craft our morning gatherings by selecting songs that fit well with the sermon text, and then uh after that creating arrangements for those songs and then running rehearsals and leading the band.
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:26.000
Um, but I will say I definitely could not do the majority of the text stuff without my wonderful husband.
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.399
Dylan, shout out Dylan.
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.759
Yes, he's definitely the brains um and the muscle behind all that.
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:40.559
Jeff has mentioned before of like a lot of people in our church are replaceable, but but the mangled's where would we be without Dylan and Grace?
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.320
You guys would be just fine.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.519
I don't know.
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.440
We must have them.
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:47.360
Very cool.
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:54.000
And I'm all right on uh on a normal Sunday, the the band, the the the worship team uh uh rehearses during the week, right?
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:54.399
Yep.
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.519
Every single day during the week, all the every day is one day a week every day.
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.559
No, uh just one night a week when we get together.
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.600
Very cool.
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.440
Yeah, um, and then with the like do you I don't even know.
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.519
Do you have to transpose uh songs?
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:08.799
Is there a software that does that?
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.360
I know nothing.
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.360
I know some things, but yes, so I'm I yes, transposing is involved.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:21.759
I do make all of the charts just to fit the arrangements that we want to do on Sunday mornings, and so and choosing the keys goes along with that as well.
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:22.799
But yeah.
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:23.600
Very cool.
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:24.720
Well, thanks for all you do.
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:26.720
I do think people, you know, I'm just gonna I'm just talking.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.559
I'm feeling I feel free to talk in this here.
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:36.639
I think people come to our church like, whoa, something that stands out of our church, I think different, unique than some other churches, not every church, is the way that we sing on a Sunday morning.
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:41.360
And I do think, Grace, you lead us so well in facilitating a team that then encourages people to sing.
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.879
And it's a wink, it's uh I can't I'm I'm not the best at explaining this.
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.519
It's unique balance that our worship team has that you guys are so talented, especially you Grace.
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.120
Really all our people are so talented.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:55.360
Um and yet the you it doesn't feel like we're showing up to a performance.
00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:01.840
It feels like the I'm singing alongside with Grace and with our team there, and you encourage us to do that uh in a way it's so well.
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.679
I know you all are so humble too, which I think is so it's so unique to have people who are so gifted and yet so humble.
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.320
So thank you for serving us in that in so many ways.
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.279
It's a joy.
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.679
Um, all right, some other questions here too.
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.679
What's your favorite part about working for the fields?
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:18.879
First for Grace.
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.159
We're gonna go kind of back and forth.
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.399
This was so hard to think through, but I didn't know.
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.120
Because it's not very fun to work for the fields, it's no fun.
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:31.360
No, I think my favorite part is uh just the people I get to work with, uh, you guys, the staff.
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.320
Because I think for me, there's just a lot of history.
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:40.000
Like growing up, uh Steph, Jeff's wife, grew up right across the street from me.
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:41.440
Well, I did not know that.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:41.919
Really?
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.399
She jokes a lot that she uh changed my diapers.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.919
Um so she was best friends with my older sister, so that's sweet.
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.080
And then a few years later, we moved down the road.
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.360
And who were our neighbors?
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.320
Holly.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.240
Holly was our neighbor, and so she was best friends with my sister, and I was great friends with her younger brother.
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.759
So there's just a lot of just family friends amongst um my our staff.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.440
And um yeah, I just think we're just a sweet little family.
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.759
So just very grateful for for you guys get to serve the Lord with you.
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:12.559
So cool.
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.919
Haley, how about you?
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:21.360
That would be um probably the one that I was gonna say is our staff team, just because it is, it's so fun.
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.840
Um, we laugh a lot, but everybody do we get any work done around here?
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.279
It seems like we're just laughing the whole time.
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.120
That is that is something.
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:30.399
It's it's wild.
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:38.559
I don't know that I've ever been a part of a team that when someone says they're going to do something, they always do it.
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.639
Um, and you can always count on that.
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:49.519
And just a genuine care for one another and wanting to pick up um burdens for one another whenever you know someone needs extra help or something.
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:54.799
There's a genuine care, and it's really a joy to be a part of the team in that way.
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:56.080
So praise the Lord.
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:56.720
Well done, staff.
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.799
I think that flows out of, I think our whole church does that so well.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.840
I think it flows into our staff and then maybe flows back out.
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.680
I don't know the how the way the flows work of things, but um, well, very cool.
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.000
Um, here's just a general question for both of you guys.
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:18.000
Do you guys think that I don't know if it was the year 2026, uh, I don't know, when you were in high school or middle school or college, did you think, man, I'm gonna be working for a church someday?
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.599
Did you guys perhaps think that?
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:20.640
Maybe first for you, Haley.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.359
You're shaking your head.
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.839
No, I I never thought I would work for a church.
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.839
Um what were you studying at IU?
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.960
So I was a business major management.
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:30.960
Okay, and probably the Kelly School of Business.
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.920
It was not.
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:39.599
So there is a not as well-known school called the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, SPIA for those that have attended IU.
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:40.000
Wow.
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:48.319
Um, so that's Stephen and I were both SPIA majors or SPIA management majors, and so yeah, we took a little bit of a different path.
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:49.839
I think it's easier.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.799
So I do, but it was but it was great.
00:17:54.960 --> 00:18:00.880
So, but I always thought I would work in the business world, and I sure did after college.
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.400
I worked in um sort of like a marketing department for a plastic products company.
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.440
Fun fact.
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:19.039
And yeah, it was actually really wonderful, but I never thought that I would end up working for a church, but it's really fun how the Lord got me here, and I'm thankful to be able to do it.
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.720
We're thankful that you are Haley.
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:21.039
Yeah.
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:22.640
How about you, Grace?
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:24.160
I did not.
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:29.680
I uh when I first started getting into music, which was eighth grade, that's when like Taylor Swift was on the rise.
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.759
And honestly, it's kind of embarrassing to say, but I wanted to be Taylor Swift.
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.240
And so that's why I went to embarrassing.
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:37.200
Yeah.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:52.400
Um, but that's why I studied music in college and uh then started an internship one summer, uh, my sophomore year of college at a church, and kind of just stuck around and now here we are.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.759
But I'm very I'm not mad about it.
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.119
I'm very thankful to be um on staff at a church.
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.920
So we're so thankful you use the the way the Lord has gifted you to serve us, serve our church.
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.599
So thanks, Grace, for that.
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.519
Uh I have a series of fun questions.
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:10.240
These questions are a little different than the ones I I asked Callie and Holly, just to mix things up a little bit.
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.599
They'll be maybe kind of fast.
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.200
I'm not that fast at asking questions, so uh just questions for us.
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:17.920
First question for both you guys favorite book?
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.440
Grace.
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:29.279
Last year, um Kathy King and I we read a book called Transformed that um goes through the life of Eve, uh Sarah, and Mary.
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.920
Oh and it was so good, just so encouraging.
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.119
So that's Transformed.
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:33.519
By who?
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:34.319
Do you know who's by?
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:34.960
No.
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:35.680
That's okay.
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.160
I I often forget uh uh authors too.
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.200
Transformed.
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.160
Yeah, very good.
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:41.359
We'll have to ask Kathy for that.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:42.000
Yeah, she might know.
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:42.559
She'll know.
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:43.119
Very cool.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:43.839
Haley, how about you?
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:44.480
Favorite book?
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.839
Is this a book about the Lord?
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:47.680
Uh it it just says favorite book.
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.519
Because I do have one of those, but I also have a favorite, I have a favorite fiction book as well.
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.039
If you want to pick a secular book, I guess you can, Haley.
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:56.880
I'm gonna share both.
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:57.519
That's great.
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.319
That's okay.
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:04.640
Um, so my favorite book about the Lord is um When People Are Big and God is Small by Ed Welch.
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.119
It really changed my life.
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:22.480
Um, yeah, with me being just a people pleaser and um yeah, desiring to fear the Lord and want to honor what the Lord has for me versus people and thinking, which ends up making me think of myself.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.279
So would definitely recommend that book.
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.000
Um, my favorite fiction book is The Hunger Games.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:29.920
Oh, yeah, Suzanne Collins.
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.119
Yes, yes.
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.359
So I just wanted to share that.
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:34.400
It's very exciting.
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:35.279
Very cool.
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.880
Great book recommendations.
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.839
How about a favorite coffee shop for both of you guys?
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.279
Could be local, could be somewhere else.
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.559
Maybe first for Haley.
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.079
My favorite is um Andy Coffee Roasters.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.039
Andy Coffee Carmel.
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.200
The the one by Carmel High School.
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:51.920
So I that is probably my favorite one.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.839
However, it's hard to get a seat there.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.759
So one kind of off of 31 there.
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.119
It's yeah, that one's great.
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.640
I've gone to the wrong, I've met people at the wrong, I'm like, oh, I'm going to let's go to the one on the north side of Indy, and it's it's not the one.
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.680
It's so hard.
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:04.319
It's tricky.
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.960
But Grace's favorite coffee shop?
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.759
I love Cafe Jardin in Noblesville.
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.559
I'm not familiar.
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.400
Is it in downtown Noblesville there?
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.759
No, uh I think it's off of 37.
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:17.119
One of those 30s.
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.599
There's 38.
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.079
Oh, it might be 38.
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.480
I don't know.
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:22.240
I don't know.
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:23.119
But it's very good.
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:23.759
Okay.
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:25.200
Uh delicious coffee.
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:31.039
They have some food items as well, but then they have a really beautiful storefront, like a home decor storefront.
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.920
Oh, fuck.
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.319
They they're so, yeah, they're amazing.
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.599
It does sound fun.
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:36.720
We should go.
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.359
Everybody go.
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:37.920
All right.
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:38.960
What is it again?
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.240
Cafe Jardin.
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:41.599
Okay, Cafe Jardin.
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:42.000
Cool.
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.400
Next question we have favorite time of year?
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:45.599
First for Grace.
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:46.319
Spring.
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.359
Springtime.
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:48.319
I love spring.
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.599
Everything's in bloom.
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:55.119
Weather's getting warmer, sun rises earlier, or starting to at least, and sets later.
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.079
Springtime.
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:56.799
Love it.
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.279
Very fun.
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:57.759
Haley.
00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:58.960
I love summer.
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.400
The summer so much.
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:05.279
Love the warm weather and sunshine, time with family, and it's so much fun.
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:06.000
Very fun.
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:06.799
Fun, fun.
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.039
Uh maybe what this would be a question you kind of somewhat alluded to earlier on.
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.440
But both of you guys, if you didn't work for the fields, let's say you couldn't work for a church, you had to do a different kind of job.
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.440
What job do you think you would do?
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:20.960
I would probably uh be a nurse.
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:21.839
A nurse?
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.160
Yep.
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:24.079
Following my dad's footsteps.
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:24.799
Very cool.
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:26.079
Doc Stewart there.
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:26.480
Yes.
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:26.799
Yep.
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:27.680
Very cool, great.
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.480
So great.
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:35.759
Um honestly, my alternative would probably be uh just being a stay-at-home mom with my kids.
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.960
Um, but I'm gonna go back to that dog bus driver.
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.559
The dog bus driver.
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.400
There's probably a market for that.
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.839
I don't know.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:45.920
Two more questions for us.
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:48.799
Biggest fear, if you have a fear.
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.759
Haley.
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:50.720
Yes.
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.799
Um, so uh we were chatting about this question before we started.
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.039
I think I I was challenged.
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.400
My biggest fear, I think, is my kids falling off of a cliff.
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.279
We went to the Grand Canyon last year.
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.160
Maybe a pretty good one.
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.599
And that was that was just my I that's what I just kept picturing.
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:15.440
So I think which, you know, it's very safe there if you take proper precautions, but that was my fear, my irrational fear.
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:16.640
That'd be tough.
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:18.799
It's a good that's a good thing to have a healthy fear of.
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:20.240
Grace, how about you?
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:25.359
Uh spiders, sharks, mosquitoes.
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.000
You know.
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:27.599
Mosquitoes are a fear.
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:28.079
Yeah.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.680
Malaria, perhaps?
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.319
Yeah.
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:30.960
Sure.
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:31.759
Could be.
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.240
Yep.
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.160
Uh, but I also really don't like the dark.
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:35.119
Ah, the dark.
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:35.759
Yeah.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:36.799
Yep.
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.920
Those are good fears.
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:38.880
Maybe they're not.
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.359
Uh you don't need to be afraid of sharks, probably in Indiana.
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:41.920
We're probably okay.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.599
But in the ocean.
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.720
Uh last snack, a go-to snack.
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.240
Grace.
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.279
Popcorn.
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:50.079
Popcorn.
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:51.519
Movie theater popcorn.
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:51.920
Sure.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:52.720
Microwave popcorn.
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.400
All the popcorn.
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:55.920
Uh maybe not microwaves.
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.400
Oh, okay.
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:58.640
But like good stovetop popcorn.
00:23:59.039 --> 00:23:59.200
Okay.
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:00.079
So good.
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.640
Hayley, go-to snack.
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:03.920
Gosh.
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:06.720
Um, I'm not a huge snacker.
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.720
But I will say those perfect bars.
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:12.160
Have you ever had those?
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.440
Okay, they're they're in the refrigerated section.
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:16.160
Interesting.
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.680
And they're like, I think mostly peanut butter-based.
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.240
Okay.
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:30.000
But I do like those because they are a good protein and like actually kind of taste like can't candy, sort of, like good.
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:34.160
I like the ones that are the cookie dough with chocolate chips.
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:36.480
That sounds like my kind of uh perfect bar.
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:38.079
It's a perfect bar.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:38.640
Pretty good.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.200
That's true.
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:41.920
Well, Grace, Haley, thank you guys so much for this conversation.
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:43.759
I knew it took time out of our days to do that.
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:44.559
So thank you guys.
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:50.640
Uh, if you're listening um and you don't know Grace and Haley, and you're at our church, you should you should get to know Grace and Haley.
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.119
They do so much.
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:57.440
So I just want to thank you guys on behalf of our church for all you do to serve, to organize, facilitate, lead, all sorts of things going on.
00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:58.559
Um, so thank you guys.
00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:59.279
Thanks for your time.
00:24:59.519 --> 00:24:59.839
Thank you.
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:00.240
Thanks.
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.680
Yep, and listeners for signing off for Fields Notes.
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:22.000
Welcome to this week's episode of Fields Notes, where we take a deeper dive into sermon text, discuss matters of life and faith, and enjoy conversations around the table with fellow friends from the Fields.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.839
Fields Notes, listeners, hello and welcome back to Fields Notes.
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:42.640
Today we are continuing on our what we're calling our summer Fields Notes series of a staff spotlight, a staff interview, an opportunity for us to know the inner workings of the people who work for us.
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:43.759
I just made that up.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:44.240
I don't know.
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.000
I'm here today with Grace and Haley.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:47.280
Grace and Haley, say hey.
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:47.840
Hello.
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:48.880
Oh hey.
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.759
Uh, and we're gonna get to know something about Grace and Haley.
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.439
I have very similar questions to ask Grace and Haley that I asked Callie and Holly, that I believe would have gotten posted a week before this.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:04.159
So maybe if you're listening to them on repeat, there'll be similar questions, but they're just, you know, they're just the questions you ask to get to know people in some ways.
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.239
So Grace Haley, let's start with Grace.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:08.719
Okay.
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.599
Grace, some things about you that will be helpful for everyone to know.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:12.719
Where are you from?
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.879
What school or schools did you go to?
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.000
Who are you married to?
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.519
Do you have kids?
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.439
Something interesting about you that maybe people in our church wouldn't know.
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.040
Who who is Grace Mangold?
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.560
Do I say Mangled right too?
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:25.760
Kelly's like, you already say it wrong.
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:26.719
Mangold.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:27.519
Mangold.
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.680
I think I say mangled, like you got like hit in a car accident.
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:30.239
You're old man.
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:31.599
I'm gonna stop talking.
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.359
Grace, uh, tell us about yourself.
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.760
Uh well, Grace Mangold.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.760
Uh, born and raised in Crawford as well.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.840
Uh, I went to Anderson University and studied music business there.
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.799
I am married to Dylan Mangold.
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:54.560
Uh, and we have a little girl named Eliza Grace, and it seems boring, but something that maybe the church wouldn't know about me is that I love to garden.
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:56.079
Love to garden.
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:56.480
Yes.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.480
We have walked by your house and seen the gardening beds that I believe your husband made.
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:01.040
He did.
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:01.760
Very fun.
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:02.239
Yeah.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.000
What do you like to grow in your garden?
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.760
We're growing a lot of vegetables right now, but then also flowers.
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.000
So yeah, all the things.
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:10.960
It's great.
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:11.919
Thanks, Grace.
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.360
Haley, some things about you, where you're from, and all the same questions for you.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.319
Fabulous.
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.439
Well, I am Haley Filbert, and I'm from Carmel, Indiana.
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.560
So I first couple years of my life, I was born in Vincennes, Indiana, and then lived in Evansville for a couple years.
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:29.680
I did not know that.
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.080
Yes.
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:31.520
Sure did.
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.280
Um, yes, and so then moved to Carmel.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.199
Um, went to school at Indiana University.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.159
Go Hoosiers.
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:41.759
Yes, go Hoosiers.
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.120
Very big year for us.
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:44.240
Big Hoosiers year.
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:45.039
So fun.
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.759
We flew our uh national champions flag out in our yard for far too long this winter.
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.199
Um, but yes, so married to Steven, who I met at IU.
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.439
And we have two girls.
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.800
Um, Caroline is 11 and Emerson is 10, and they are so much fun.
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:16.000
And something that is interesting about me that actually some people probably do know this because I probably talk about it far too much with people at the fields.
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.599
Um, my dream job probably is to be driven to the director at the fields.
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.280
Well, no, Joe.
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.599
Uh, it is to drive a bus for dogs to get them to a doggy daycare that I would own.
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:30.319
Wow.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.319
No, I did not know that.
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:33.759
Oddly specific.
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:35.520
Wow.
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.680
I did not know Haley Filbert at all.
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:38.719
Well, this is helpful.
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:39.280
Now you know.
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:40.400
It's a good thing we're doing the podcast.
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.199
Now you know.
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:42.400
Uh, so fun.
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.240
Uh, Grace Haley, tell us a little bit about how you became a Christian.
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.639
Maybe in in short, how the Lord saved you.
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:49.840
Maybe Grace first.
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:50.400
Yeah.
00:03:50.560 --> 00:04:03.120
I uh grew up in a Christian home, but I didn't receive Christ until I was in middle school when I went to a summer camp called Twin Lakes, and um actually kind of went kicking and screaming, but my friends encouraged me to stay.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:12.240
Um, and so I did, and at the end of the week, they gave uh a gospel presentation, and that's when the Lord opened my heart to receiving him.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:41.839
And I kind of lived a life of um being on fire for Christ for a few weeks after that, and then kind of went back into the lifestyle of living like a worldly life throughout the week and then a holy life on Sundays until um the summer of my senior year, where the Lord placed a couple of really um influential people in my life who poured into me musically and spiritually, and they had this beautiful light about them, and I was like, what is that?
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:53.040
And then it sounds cheesy, but it was the light of the Lord, and I realized that uh I wanted that as well, and so I rededicated my life to Christ that summer, and now here we are.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.000
It's amazing.
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:54.720
Praise the Lord.
00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.720
Thanks for sharing and uh praise the Lord for that camp and those people in your life, and yeah, awesome.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:01.600
Thank you, Grace.
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.600
Haley, a little bit for you?
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.920
Yeah, so um, so I grew up uh going to church.
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:18.000
Um, I grew up in the Catholic faith, and my parents were super faithful and um yeah, just giving us a good foundation to try to follow the Lord.
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.879
And um, yeah, we went to church very regularly and enjoyed it very much as a family.
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:37.439
Um, but I really did not understand the gospel and who Christ was until um Stephen, my husband, uh he asked to do a Bible study with me in college after we had met.
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.240
So we went through the book of Romans together.
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:52.079
And it was through that that I understood that it wasn't about me and what I do, um, that it was about Jesus and what he had actually done for me.
00:05:52.399 --> 00:06:06.879
And um I wrote down the verse that really like captured my heart was uh Romans 10, 9, which is if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.920
And so I realized I I had not made that confession to the Lord.
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:23.120
And so um He God had been stirring in my heart belief, but I confessed um then I was actually I didn't do do that with Stephen.
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:29.439
I was embarrassed because I thought, oh, I I've actually like I thought I had been a Christian.
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:36.399
Um, but I went back to my, I was in a sorority at school and went back to my room there and yeah, prayed to the Lord.
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.879
I think that was probably the time that God saved me.
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:53.920
Um but yeah, same as kind of Grace said, like I I became a believer, um, but it took kind of a while for me to really kind of shift gears and really follow the Lord um fully.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.959
And of course it's uh up and down all the time, right?
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:05.279
But um God used Bible study fellowship as a way to really show me what his word said, like very in-depth.
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:12.639
And so I think that was um, I don't know, six, seven years ago, maybe.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:22.399
And uh that's when I think God really was able to start stirring a desire to follow him in my heart, and so yeah, just very, very thankful.
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.399
Thanks for sharing, Haley.
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.920
And just so encourage thank you guys both for sharing.
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.319
I know it's a it's a vulnerable thing to to share.
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:33.759
And then just this is I mean, our church is gonna listen to this, so uh it's an encouragement to me to hear other people's testimonies.
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.759
That's what I love when when people get baptized at our church and we hear how the Lord has saved them.
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:38.319
Me too.
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:48.240
Because it reminds everyone's testimonies are different and they're kind of the same in a sense, and uh it it is so humbling because we we confess, oh wait, no, I I'm actually not good.
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.680
I'm I I need Jesus.
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.879
And that like everyone comes to that realization when they become a Christian.
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.199
And so it's humbling, but it's so encouraging to hear.
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.000
So thank you guys for sharing.
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.319
I know it's a vulnerable thing to do in front of these microphones, too.
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.199
So that's great.
00:07:59.360 --> 00:07:59.680
Thank you.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:00.639
Thank you guys.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:08.000
Uh let's tell us a little bit about what what I think we would know generally some things that our church would be like, okay, I know Grace, she's the she's the girl with a guitar.
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:09.839
Haley does some stuff with kids.
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.079
Tell us a little bit about uh what so in some ways the general things you'd know.
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:23.920
So your title for our church, what things you do for our church, but maybe some specifically, what things do you do that people might not see that you do in your in your job that you do to serve our church?
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.279
So we've been starting with Grace.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:26.079
Let's start with Haley.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.279
I just know you just talked, Haley.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:28.079
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:28.879
Haley, what's your title?
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:29.360
What do you do?
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.120
What is the what are the things that Haley Filbert does for the Fields Church in a staff sense?
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:33.759
Okay.
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.440
Um, well, I am the kids director at the Fields, have the pleasure of doing that.
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:50.399
And um I think the biggest thing that I do probably is uh utilize our uh gospel project curriculum to lesson plan.
00:08:50.559 --> 00:09:09.759
Um, they give us a lot of options on what we can use for Sunday morning, but I will kind of go through and pick out what I feel like might be the best options for our kids as far as activities and things like that goes for the lesson in hopes that it'll make our volunteers' job a little bit easier.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:25.840
Um, so I will lesson plan for Sunday mornings and then gather all of the materials throughout the week that our volunteer teachers will need in order to um, yeah, share the gospel and teach the Bible lesson to kids on Sundays.
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.519
Um I enjoy volunteer scheduling with Steph Strickland.
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.720
I'm very thankful, I'm very thankful for all of our volunteers.
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.039
We have a plug for volunteering in kids.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.120
We are we are always looking for additional volunteers.
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.679
Um even kid, we do I we do it.
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.759
I I serve kids, I enjoy serving kids.
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.039
I hope not to make it like it's a bad thing.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:47.440
No, no, no.
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:48.399
It is.
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.480
And and honestly, it's it's one of my favorite things to do at church.
00:09:52.639 --> 00:10:09.279
It is so fun to hang out with those kids, and it's actually really fun to volunteer alongside other people, especially when you get in a situation where it's kind of chaotic back there, and you kind of are they're doing it together, and you look around and you're like, oh my gosh, what are we doing?
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.080
But it's fun.
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:10.879
It's great.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:12.080
We're in this together.
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:13.759
Yeah, it's great.
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:25.200
Um, all of our kids' milestones that our pastors provide them a milestone are different, um, I guess sort of events.
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.720
I don't know another way to say a milestone, because that's really what it is.
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.639
Something just bad question for me.
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:30.960
Sorry.
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:31.919
That's great.
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.440
Uh I should have thought about that a little bit.
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:52.480
Um, but it is, yeah, an event that sort of um provides significance to certain times in our kids' lives and where we are able to support the not just the kids, but the parents as they walk alongside their kids um at different points in their life.
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:58.720
So we have um the commission is coming up, and that is our all of our parents of our little babies.
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.120
It probably will have already happened by the time this aired.
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.919
Oh, for those of you record these a little bit ahead of time.
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.519
It has just happened.
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:18.000
Uh, and so yeah, we will commission our parents to disciple and um parent their children, and that we will yeah, gladly do it alongside them.
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:35.440
But all the stuff for those milestones, um, kind of in the background, if we provide resources to families or I don't know, um different gifts and things like that, that I will help support our pastors because they are the ones that are providing it, but I'll support them with that.
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:49.360
And then of course, VBS is something that is very exciting that I enjoy um, yeah, just planning and uh getting everybody rallied together to do, and it's such a fun and exciting time.
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.159
So that'll be that will be coming, right, Joe?
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.279
Yes, it will be coming.
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:53.840
Well, I mean, who knows?
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.639
But I think that'll be in the future.
00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:58.559
So fun.
00:11:58.960 --> 00:11:59.840
Haley, thanks for all your work.
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:03.759
I know we I uh I benefit a lot from your work when Kylie and I serve in the K through three.
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.000
All of the the lessons you have is organized so well.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.480
The games are actually fun for the little kids to play.
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.159
Um, thank you for all your work in that.
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:11.759
I know it is a lot of work in that, Haley.
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:24.000
I heard somebody uh on on a I thought there was a helpful note, someone said one time of like the most like uh, you know, it takes statistics for what they are, but like what what people are like most likely gonna come to faith in Christ on a Sunday morning.
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.320
Uh it's gonna be our kids, actually.
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:40.799
That there is such a uh a need in uh uh and uh an importance to sharing the gospel with kids, teaching them how the Bible points to Christ, um, that you organize and facilitate so well, Haley, that for that for that ministry to happen.
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.399
So thank you for your work in that, Haley.
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:42.879
That's great.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.279
Thank you.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.559
Grace, some about you.
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.720
What what is it that you do, Grace, other than well, no, you just talk.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:57.759
Um, so I am the worship director, and so part of what I do is I help manage our music and tech team.
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:19.039
So scheduling in both of those areas to serve monthly, and um I alongside the rest of our stuff help shape and craft our morning gatherings by selecting songs that fit well with the sermon text, and then uh after that creating arrangements for those songs and then running rehearsals and leading the band.
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:26.000
Um, but I will say I definitely could not do the majority of the text stuff without my wonderful husband.
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.399
Dylan, shout out Dylan.
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.759
Yes, he's definitely the brains um and the muscle behind all that.
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:40.559
Jeff has mentioned before of like a lot of people in our church are replaceable, but but the mangled's where would we be without Dylan and Grace?
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.320
You guys would be just fine.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.519
I don't know.
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.440
We must have them.
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:47.360
Very cool.
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:54.000
And I'm all right on uh on a normal Sunday, the the band, the the the worship team uh uh rehearses during the week, right?
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:54.399
Yep.
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.519
Every single day during the week, all the every day is one day a week every day.
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.559
No, uh just one night a week when we get together.
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.600
Very cool.
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.440
Yeah, um, and then with the like do you I don't even know.
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.519
Do you have to transpose uh songs?
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:08.799
Is there a software that does that?
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.360
I know nothing.
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.360
I know some things, but yes, so I'm I yes, transposing is involved.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:21.759
I do make all of the charts just to fit the arrangements that we want to do on Sunday mornings, and so and choosing the keys goes along with that as well.
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:22.799
But yeah.
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:23.600
Very cool.
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:24.720
Well, thanks for all you do.
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:26.720
I do think people, you know, I'm just gonna I'm just talking.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.559
I'm feeling I feel free to talk in this here.
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:36.639
I think people come to our church like, whoa, something that stands out of our church, I think different, unique than some other churches, not every church, is the way that we sing on a Sunday morning.
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:41.360
And I do think, Grace, you lead us so well in facilitating a team that then encourages people to sing.
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.879
And it's a wink, it's uh I can't I'm I'm not the best at explaining this.
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.519
It's unique balance that our worship team has that you guys are so talented, especially you Grace.
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.120
Really all our people are so talented.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:55.360
Um and yet the you it doesn't feel like we're showing up to a performance.
00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:01.840
It feels like the I'm singing alongside with Grace and with our team there, and you encourage us to do that uh in a way it's so well.
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.679
I know you all are so humble too, which I think is so it's so unique to have people who are so gifted and yet so humble.
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.320
So thank you for serving us in that in so many ways.
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.279
It's a joy.
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.679
Um, all right, some other questions here too.
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.679
What's your favorite part about working for the fields?
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:18.879
First for Grace.
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.159
We're gonna go kind of back and forth.
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.399
This was so hard to think through, but I didn't know.
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.120
Because it's not very fun to work for the fields, it's no fun.
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:31.360
No, I think my favorite part is uh just the people I get to work with, uh, you guys, the staff.
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.320
Because I think for me, there's just a lot of history.
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:40.000
Like growing up, uh Steph, Jeff's wife, grew up right across the street from me.
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:41.440
Well, I did not know that.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:41.919
Really?
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.399
She jokes a lot that she uh changed my diapers.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.919
Um so she was best friends with my older sister, so that's sweet.
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.080
And then a few years later, we moved down the road.
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.360
And who were our neighbors?
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.320
Holly.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.240
Holly was our neighbor, and so she was best friends with my sister, and I was great friends with her younger brother.
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.759
So there's just a lot of just family friends amongst um my our staff.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.440
And um yeah, I just think we're just a sweet little family.
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.759
So just very grateful for for you guys get to serve the Lord with you.
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:12.559
So cool.
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.919
Haley, how about you?
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:21.360
That would be um probably the one that I was gonna say is our staff team, just because it is, it's so fun.
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.840
Um, we laugh a lot, but everybody do we get any work done around here?
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.279
It seems like we're just laughing the whole time.
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.120
That is that is something.
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:30.399
It's it's wild.
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:38.559
I don't know that I've ever been a part of a team that when someone says they're going to do something, they always do it.
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.639
Um, and you can always count on that.
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:49.519
And just a genuine care for one another and wanting to pick up um burdens for one another whenever you know someone needs extra help or something.
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:54.799
There's a genuine care, and it's really a joy to be a part of the team in that way.
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:56.080
So praise the Lord.
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:56.720
Well done, staff.
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.799
I think that flows out of, I think our whole church does that so well.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.840
I think it flows into our staff and then maybe flows back out.
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.680
I don't know the how the way the flows work of things, but um, well, very cool.
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.000
Um, here's just a general question for both of you guys.
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:18.000
Do you guys think that I don't know if it was the year 2026, uh, I don't know, when you were in high school or middle school or college, did you think, man, I'm gonna be working for a church someday?
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.599
Did you guys perhaps think that?
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:20.640
Maybe first for you, Haley.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.359
You're shaking your head.
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.839
No, I I never thought I would work for a church.
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.839
Um what were you studying at IU?
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.960
So I was a business major management.
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:30.960
Okay, and probably the Kelly School of Business.
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.920
It was not.
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:39.599
So there is a not as well-known school called the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, SPIA for those that have attended IU.
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:40.000
Wow.
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:48.319
Um, so that's Stephen and I were both SPIA majors or SPIA management majors, and so yeah, we took a little bit of a different path.
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:49.839
I think it's easier.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.799
So I do, but it was but it was great.
00:17:54.960 --> 00:18:00.880
So, but I always thought I would work in the business world, and I sure did after college.
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.400
I worked in um sort of like a marketing department for a plastic products company.
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.440
Fun fact.
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:19.039
And yeah, it was actually really wonderful, but I never thought that I would end up working for a church, but it's really fun how the Lord got me here, and I'm thankful to be able to do it.
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.720
We're thankful that you are Haley.
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:21.039
Yeah.
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:22.640
How about you, Grace?
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:24.160
I did not.
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:29.680
I uh when I first started getting into music, which was eighth grade, that's when like Taylor Swift was on the rise.
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.759
And honestly, it's kind of embarrassing to say, but I wanted to be Taylor Swift.
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.240
And so that's why I went to embarrassing.
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:37.200
Yeah.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:52.400
Um, but that's why I studied music in college and uh then started an internship one summer, uh, my sophomore year of college at a church, and kind of just stuck around and now here we are.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.759
But I'm very I'm not mad about it.
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.119
I'm very thankful to be um on staff at a church.
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.920
So we're so thankful you use the the way the Lord has gifted you to serve us, serve our church.
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.599
So thanks, Grace, for that.
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.519
Uh I have a series of fun questions.
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:10.240
These questions are a little different than the ones I I asked Callie and Holly, just to mix things up a little bit.
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.599
They'll be maybe kind of fast.
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.200
I'm not that fast at asking questions, so uh just questions for us.
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:17.920
First question for both you guys favorite book?
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.440
Grace.
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:29.279
Last year, um Kathy King and I we read a book called Transformed that um goes through the life of Eve, uh Sarah, and Mary.
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.920
Oh and it was so good, just so encouraging.
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.119
So that's Transformed.
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:33.519
By who?
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:34.319
Do you know who's by?
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:34.960
No.
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:35.680
That's okay.
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.160
I I often forget uh uh authors too.
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.200
Transformed.
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.160
Yeah, very good.
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:41.359
We'll have to ask Kathy for that.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:42.000
Yeah, she might know.
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:42.559
She'll know.
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:43.119
Very cool.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:43.839
Haley, how about you?
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:44.480
Favorite book?
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.839
Is this a book about the Lord?
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:47.680
Uh it it just says favorite book.
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.519
Because I do have one of those, but I also have a favorite, I have a favorite fiction book as well.
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.039
If you want to pick a secular book, I guess you can, Haley.
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:56.880
I'm gonna share both.
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:57.519
That's great.
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.319
That's okay.
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:04.640
Um, so my favorite book about the Lord is um When People Are Big and God is Small by Ed Welch.
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.119
It really changed my life.
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:22.480
Um, yeah, with me being just a people pleaser and um yeah, desiring to fear the Lord and want to honor what the Lord has for me versus people and thinking, which ends up making me think of myself.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.279
So would definitely recommend that book.
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.000
Um, my favorite fiction book is The Hunger Games.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:29.920
Oh, yeah, Suzanne Collins.
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:31.119
Yes, yes.
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.359
So I just wanted to share that.
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:34.400
It's very exciting.
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:35.279
Very cool.
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.880
Great book recommendations.
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.839
How about a favorite coffee shop for both of you guys?
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.279
Could be local, could be somewhere else.
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.559
Maybe first for Haley.
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.079
My favorite is um Andy Coffee Roasters.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.039
Andy Coffee Carmel.
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.200
The the one by Carmel High School.
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:51.920
So I that is probably my favorite one.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.839
However, it's hard to get a seat there.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.759
So one kind of off of 31 there.
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.119
It's yeah, that one's great.
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.640
I've gone to the wrong, I've met people at the wrong, I'm like, oh, I'm going to let's go to the one on the north side of Indy, and it's it's not the one.
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.680
It's so hard.
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:04.319
It's tricky.
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.960
But Grace's favorite coffee shop?
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.759
I love Cafe Jardin in Noblesville.
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.559
I'm not familiar.
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.400
Is it in downtown Noblesville there?
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.759
No, uh I think it's off of 37.
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:17.119
One of those 30s.
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.599
There's 38.
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.079
Oh, it might be 38.
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.480
I don't know.
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:22.240
I don't know.
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:23.119
But it's very good.
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:23.759
Okay.
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:25.200
Uh delicious coffee.
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:31.039
They have some food items as well, but then they have a really beautiful storefront, like a home decor storefront.
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.920
Oh, fuck.
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.319
They they're so, yeah, they're amazing.
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.599
It does sound fun.
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:36.720
We should go.
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.359
Everybody go.
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:37.920
All right.
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:38.960
What is it again?
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.240
Cafe Jardin.
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:41.599
Okay, Cafe Jardin.
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:42.000
Cool.
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.400
Next question we have favorite time of year?
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:45.599
First for Grace.
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:46.319
Spring.
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.359
Springtime.
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:48.319
I love spring.
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.599
Everything's in bloom.
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:55.119
Weather's getting warmer, sun rises earlier, or starting to at least, and sets later.
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.079
Springtime.
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:56.799
Love it.
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.279
Very fun.
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:57.759
Haley.
00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:58.960
I love summer.
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.400
The summer so much.
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:05.279
Love the warm weather and sunshine, time with family, and it's so much fun.
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:06.000
Very fun.
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:06.799
Fun, fun.
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.039
Uh maybe what this would be a question you kind of somewhat alluded to earlier on.
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.440
But both of you guys, if you didn't work for the fields, let's say you couldn't work for a church, you had to do a different kind of job.
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.440
What job do you think you would do?
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:20.960
I would probably uh be a nurse.
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:21.839
A nurse?
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.160
Yep.
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:24.079
Following my dad's footsteps.
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:24.799
Very cool.
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:26.079
Doc Stewart there.
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:26.480
Yes.
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:26.799
Yep.
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:27.680
Very cool, great.
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.480
So great.
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:35.759
Um honestly, my alternative would probably be uh just being a stay-at-home mom with my kids.
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.960
Um, but I'm gonna go back to that dog bus driver.
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.559
The dog bus driver.
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.400
There's probably a market for that.
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.839
I don't know.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:45.920
Two more questions for us.
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:48.799
Biggest fear, if you have a fear.
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.759
Haley.
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:50.720
Yes.
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.799
Um, so uh we were chatting about this question before we started.
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.039
I think I I was challenged.
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.400
My biggest fear, I think, is my kids falling off of a cliff.
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.279
We went to the Grand Canyon last year.
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.160
Maybe a pretty good one.
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.599
And that was that was just my I that's what I just kept picturing.
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:15.440
So I think which, you know, it's very safe there if you take proper precautions, but that was my fear, my irrational fear.
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:16.640
That'd be tough.
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:18.799
It's a good that's a good thing to have a healthy fear of.
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:20.240
Grace, how about you?
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:25.359
Uh spiders, sharks, mosquitoes.
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.000
You know.
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:27.599
Mosquitoes are a fear.
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:28.079
Yeah.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.680
Malaria, perhaps?
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.319
Yeah.
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:30.960
Sure.
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:31.759
Could be.
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.240
Yep.
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.160
Uh, but I also really don't like the dark.
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:35.119
Ah, the dark.
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:35.759
Yeah.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:36.799
Yep.
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.920
Those are good fears.
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:38.880
Maybe they're not.
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.359
Uh you don't need to be afraid of sharks, probably in Indiana.
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:41.920
We're probably okay.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.599
But in the ocean.
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.720
Uh last snack, a go-to snack.
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.240
Grace.
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.279
Popcorn.
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:50.079
Popcorn.
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:51.519
Movie theater popcorn.
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:51.920
Sure.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:52.720
Microwave popcorn.
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.400
All the popcorn.
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:55.920
Uh maybe not microwaves.
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.400
Oh, okay.
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:58.640
But like good stovetop popcorn.
00:23:59.039 --> 00:23:59.200
Okay.
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:00.079
So good.
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.640
Hayley, go-to snack.
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:03.920
Gosh.
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:06.720
Um, I'm not a huge snacker.
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.720
But I will say those perfect bars.
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:12.160
Have you ever had those?
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.440
Okay, they're they're in the refrigerated section.
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:16.160
Interesting.
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.680
And they're like, I think mostly peanut butter-based.
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.240
Okay.
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:30.000
But I do like those because they are a good protein and like actually kind of taste like can't candy, sort of, like good.
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:34.160
I like the ones that are the cookie dough with chocolate chips.
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:36.480
That sounds like my kind of uh perfect bar.
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:38.079
It's a perfect bar.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:38.640
Pretty good.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.200
That's true.
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:41.920
Well, Grace, Haley, thank you guys so much for this conversation.
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:43.759
I knew it took time out of our days to do that.
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:44.559
So thank you guys.
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:50.640
Uh, if you're listening um and you don't know Grace and Haley, and you're at our church, you should you should get to know Grace and Haley.
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.119
