[horse neighing]
[grunting]
[David] Who's ready, campers,
for a great week of adventure?
-[neighing]
-[crowd cheering]
Easy, Sadie. Yeah!
Who's ready for the
Team Chant Challenge?
I'm Indy-chant-a Jones.
Say hello, Indy-chant-a Jones.
[All] Hello, Indy-chant-a Jones.
You are gonna get together
with your teams today
and prepare for the
Team Chant Challenge tonight.
That's got Verde Maximus
written all over it.
Now, you might be thinking, "Wait a
minute. Contest? Who are the judges?"
Well, it's old Jeremy, our pastor!
-Give it up, but he's not too judgy.
-[crowd cheering]
He's not too judgy.
He's the best. Whoo-hoo!
What's up, guys? Thank you.
All right, all right, all right,
all right, all right. Love the energy.
I'm gonna kick us off with
this first verse of the day.
Jeremiah 29:11.
"For I know the plans I have
for you, declares the Lord,
plans to prosper you
and not harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future."
Okay, so you guys know why
you want to be here, right?
But have you thought about
why God wants you to be here?
Look, I'm gonna have you guys
grab some papers in a minute.
And I want you to think about it.
Go find a place,
a tree, your cabin, and
think about that.
See what God says to you, and I want you
to write it down on this card.
And tonight, bring them back,
and I'm gonna have you put it
right here on this board.
Boom! Okay?
[crowd cheering]
Yeah.
[Lennie] Hey.
Hey.
Listen, I don't know
how to tell you this,
but you are actually trespassing.
-What?
-[Lennie] Yeah.
See, this is my part of the shore.
-Hmm.
-[Lennie] That's my tree.
-That one? That's my little rock.
-[Max] Oh.
You're sitting on my bench.
Mm. It's dirty.
This is my view.
-[Max] It's really nice.
-[Lennie] I know.
Anyway, can you leave
so I can get all--
all deep on my piece of paper?
-I'm struggling a little bit.
-[chuckles]
Okay, well, first,
don't think you own the view.
Second, you're really struggling?
It's a complicated question.
It seems pretty simple to me.
[Lennie] Oh, yeah?
Let me see.
-[Max] No.
-Let me see. No, let me see.
Okay. Okay.
[Lennie chuckles] "Because I have to be."
-[Max] Nailed it.
-Hmm.
Technically, I guess you're right.
We all have to be here to experience
whatever He's got next for us.
Next revelation, next surprise.
It's like that C.S. Lewis quote.
"All the leaves of the New Testament
are rustling with the rumor"
Yeah.
-Shut up.
-[Max laughs]
[Lennie] I know there's a profound
reason that I'm here this week.
And I'm here to figure out what it is.
Because whatever it is,
it's on purpose, you know?
-Can I ask you a question?
-[Lennie] Yeah.
What if you're wrong?
About what? About talking to you?
-Should I leave?
-[Max] No, no, no.
Just-- just about there
being some grand plan
or, I don't know, a reason for all this.
I mean, what if you're wrong?
My entire world will fall apart.
Wow. That's pretty honest. Yeah.
[chuckles]
But what happens if you're wrong?
Yeah, I don't think I am.
Neither do I.
I think that I'm wrong
that's what I'm trying to say.
[horn blaring]
[David on intercom]
Campers, assemble with your teams.
It's Chant Challenge time.
Not to brag, but I am
amazing at Chant Challenge.
See, I'm amazing
at not caring about
the Chant Challenge.
-This is perfect. Break a leg.
-[Max] Yeah. Break a leg.
[percussive music]
All right, campers.
Enough talking. Eyes on me.
Team chants are a long
honored tradition here.
We are going to be scored
on creativity, enthusiasm--
--and incorporation
of a biblical principle.
That last one is a special
edition from Karla this year.
We have never lost.
Okay, I am tired of losing to Jake
and his headband every year.
So let's not. Okay?
-[Jake] You guys want to win? Yeah?
-[Verde Maximus] Yeah! Yeah!
Then let's do it!
[cheering]
Two, three, four, five, six--
Hit, hit, step, clap, jump.
[Lennie] Yes, yes. I was thinking the--
Yes, I was thinking the pointing,
as well. Yes.
Oh, great. So glad, Lennie.
Max, look this way. There we go.
-[Azure Apostles] Team blue!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do a little body roll.
Okay.
[intense whisper] Why are
you wearing blue?
You!
Green machine!
How do you feel about rapping?
I feel really good about it.
Lecrae, KB, Andy Minio,
Reach Records, on repeat.
I don't know any of
those people, but okay.
[blowing out flame]
I said something that
feels like fireworks.
[horn blaring]
The rapture! It's happening!
That was a joke.
I'm kidding, but we do have to go.
[sigh] Okay.
[funky music]
Give me a second.
I need to get the secret weapon.
[Jake] No!
[Jake screaming]
[owl hooting]
[Jake] Who would steal my bandana?
I'm just not "the guy" without it.
Here, Jake, use this one.
First off, that's gross.
Second off, was this the one given to you
by the legendary Will Hawkins? No.
Does this one have the
sweat of six years of camp? No.
Does this one hold with it
the achievements and
victories of all who came before?
No, it does not. So thank you,
but no thank you.
I think we got a really good chance,
guys. Just let loose.
But stay on beat, everyone. On the beat.
-You know who you are.
-Okay.
But the most important
part is to just have fun.
This is serious.
Don't worry. We got it, guys.
Okay, join hands and join me in the
Crimson Angel prayer.
Join hands. Come on.
"And suddenly, there was an angel of the
multitude praising God and saying,
[Crimson Angels] "Glory to God
in the highest
and on earth, peace,
goodwill towards men."
[singing] Amen!
[All singing] Amen!
Settle! Settle!
Lords and ladies, we gather
to get this party started.
