So friends, this podcast started some years ago as a personal hobby.

It has become a little more than that.

But in the course of my ministry, work, and personal life, I'm not always able to get to it on a regular basis.

recording, editing, but I'm grateful that I have a new partnership with Luke Clayton and the team at IncreaseCreative.co.

Luke and his team does great, great work.

I'd love to commend them to you.

You could look them up again at increasecreative.co or find more information on the show notes of this episode.

Check them out.

Meaning, water goes through a pipe without having any positive effect on the pipe.

In fact, over time, the water rust and corrods the pipe. However, as water
