Welcome back to the Wild at Heart Podcast here in the week of December 5th.

I've got a wonderful show for you here, but before we jump in, as is our new practice,

we're going to pause and take a moment and let go of the day.

Let go of work, let go of school, let go of the morning or the evening wherever you are in your day.

Just let it go.

Take a moment and pause and re-center yourself in Christ.

And Jesus, we pray for union, restore our union with you, renew your life in us.

We pray for union, we pray for life, and we pray that you would meet us here today.

What we need is you.

And so through this podcast, through our experience here together, come in your love to us, God.

Come and meet us here.

Amen.

Hey John, before we dive into the podcast, I just wanted to remind listeners that we are a crowdfunded mission,

while their heart exists because of the financial support of people like you that listen.

And I would just encourage you, if you're considering a gift, to go ahead and do so in the coming days and weeks,

actually, most of our giving each year comes in the final weeks of the year.

And that's what fuels our next year for us to be able to keep doing what we do.

And so much of while that heart is about giving content away, whether it's the pause app, 30 days to resilient, these podcasts, so many resources,

because we want to reach as many people as we can with those resources.

And your gift is what helps us do that.

So you can support us online a couple of ways at wild at heart.org or on our app.

Okay, just wanted to offer that upfront.
