You're listening to the New Evangelicals podcast.

Hey everyone. This is Melinda.

Before the year closes, I just wanted to take a few minutes to not do a full episode,

but just have a moment of honesty and gratitude.

This year, 2025 has been a huge year of transition for TNE.

We have grown, we've recalibrated, and we've really

recommitted ourselves to creating a better path forward at the intersection of faith and justice

and community, and we truly could not have done any of that without you. And whether you joined

us this year or even walking with us from the beginning, we just

want to say thank you, your presence and your questions, your support, your courage and your

hope. It all matters more than you could possibly know. Now, as we move into the new year, we are

really holding on to hope and compassion as being powerful tools to combat all of the

extremism and the fear and the noise and we are actively choosing to build something loving and just

something that is truly rooted in the way of Jesus and using that as an active resistance

and we're committed to continuing all of that work.

So on December 30th, we want to invite you to gather with us on all of our channels.

Honestly, we're going to be streaming this live, but we're going to be having our first

ever T&E join the movement live stream fundraiser.

And it is going to be a night of storytelling and

just honesty and laughs and musical guests, and we have some incredible guests like Reverend

Otis Moss and Brian Rucker and Timi Spencer Helms, just to name a few. And we really just want

you to be there. Our goal for the evening is to raise $ few, and we really just want you to be there.
