Hey everybody, Mike here.

Welcome to the Vox Podcast and so grateful for the privilege of playing a part in whatever journey you are on.

Vox is Latin for voice.

And the purpose of our podcast is to really give permission and make room for all sorts of questions, things that we're wrestling with, issues, discussion, trying to find a way through the binaries right now, the politicized extremes about faith, about

politics, about all those sorts of things.

And also, we call that deconstruction, and we also want to play a part

in separating the Christian subculture that's grown up around Jesus from the real thing

So that we can see and appreciate again the beauty and majesty of Jesus as much as we can obviously we can't wipe away

2,000 years of church history, but as best we can, we try to divorce the subculture,

the Christian subculture that's embodied at least in my stream of my tribe of Christianity,

apart from the Jesus as he's portrayed in the Gospels.

And so we talk about all kinds of things. We're so grateful for feedback and questions. I mean, I think one of the things we're going to start is just a quick Q&A. So we won't do mailbag episodes anymore, but we'll just do like Q&A

Podcasts like one a week of just one question. There'll be like three to four minutes

and we'll start editing those to our stream. so I've got probably a hundred or so

questions sitting in a folder that are incredible that I've been saving up for

this so so we'll launch that here in a couple of weeks. Also I'm so very

grateful for those of you that support us on Patreon and and those that like and

review us we had a review on iTunes last time from J5 Ruff,

who pointed out some audio issues, and I should have, excuse me, I should have known them.

I should be going back and listening to the podcast before I hit publish,

but I had not done that and so I had no idea.

So I'm very grateful that you let me know the audio was so horrible on that and we're working to fix it for sure and then he re-edited his his review.
