Pastor Jimmy. I just finished listening to this week’s episode and I’m a little confused. You said you had to sign up for Medicaid insurance because of your age. Medicaid is for the poor and needy in our community. I think you signed up for Medicare, which is for senior citizens over 65. Just wanted to clear that up.

Toni, I misspoke. It's Medicare that I signed up for. Medicare is a new frontier for me, so I identified the wrong service. Sorry about the confusion. Good catch.

ITM, I was inspired by this episode to share my thoughts on the donation levels and a name. I'm listening to an audiobook called the Templars and I felt encouraged to share their ranks and i thought could work. Not necessarily military rank but the protectors of Christianity and the pilgrims. Hopefully not to long

The Three Core Classes of Brothers

​-Brother Knights (Fratres Milites)

The elite heavy cavalry and core fighting force. Recruited exclusively from noble families, they wore the iconic white mantle adorned with the red cross to symbolize purity and chastity. Each knight was typically assigned three to four horses and squires for battlefield support.

-​Brother Sergeants (Fratres Servientes)

Non-noble full members who wore black or brown mantles. They fulfilled vital military and support functions, serving as light cavalry, infantry, armorers, blacksmiths, and estate managers.

-​Brother Chaplains (Fratres Capellani)

Ordained Catholic priests who joined the Order to administer the sacraments, hear confessions, and fulfill spiritual obligations. They did not engage in combat and reported directly to the Grand Master.
